DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY

About

Botany was started in the college in 1982. Botany is a basic subject that has enabled budding of a lot of applied biological sciences. The subject cannot be learnt only within the confines of the classroom or laboratory and hence regular field trips, institutional visits and study tours are an integral part of the methodology adopted by the department to give a complete understanding of the subject. Our students of Botany have studied the vegetation of Mt. Abu, Sawantwadi, Dediapada forests, Gir, Saurashtra and Kutch.

The department treasures a priceless collection of wood samples, seeds, a small herbarium and several rare botanical specimens. During the past two decades, the department has played a stellar role in setting up the chain of Ecological Niches which makes St. Xavier’s College one of the greenest college-campuses in the city. These are believed to contain close to 900 species of flora including ornamental & medicinal plants, a Cactorium, a Green House and a beautiful lotus pond.
