Abstract: The present investigation deals with some ecological observation of threatened plants with special reference to its distribution in the western Kachchh region of Gujarat. A total of 19 plant species have been reported which are categorized as threatened. Among them, one species (Talinum portulacifolium.) was first time recorded from wild and two threatened species i.e. Limonium stocksii and Corallocarpus conocarpus were first time recorded from the study area. It was also observed that mixed thorn forest habitat is a conservation significant habitat of the study area which supports maximum species which falls under the threatened category. The western part of the district is mineral rich lead to various mining activities i.e. large scale land denudation observed as the major threats to species population by habitat fragmentation and degradation.
