The Corbett National Park is not only famous for its wildlife population but it is also the most verdant national park of India, known for its individualistic scenic beauty. Spread over an area of 520.8 sq. km, the park is known for its rich and varied flora. The important flora of the Corbett National Park comprises of the evergreen Sal (Shorea robusta) and its associate tress, the Sheesam (Dalbergia sissoo), the Kanju (Holoptelea integrifolia)-found extensively on the ridges-, the ber (Zizyphus mauritians), dhak (Butea monosperma), and bael (Aegle marmelos). Other important trees in the Corbett National Park are the occasional simal (Bombax cieba), jhingan (Lannea coromandelica) and khair (Acacia catechu) that blossom in the spring season, just before the starting of summer season.
The Sal and the Sheesam, the two most important timber trees of north India, is the abundantly grown flora in the Corbett National Park. The green leaves of the rohini (Mallotus philippinensis)- an associate of the Sal -are hot favorite with wild elephants of the park.
Another significant floral characteristic of the Corbett National Park is the 'chaurs'- a flat grassy blank full of herbs and short and tall grasses - providing most of the grazing to the herbivores. The brakes of bamboo and thick shrub growth on the margins of the nullahs and ravines provide both fodder as well as cover to the wilds of the Corbett National Park. Another important plant found along the nullahs is Ardisia solanacea, which provide a source of life-giving water to all herbivores during the driest months of the year. In addition, there are many forest trees such as palas (Butea monosperma, the flame of the forest), the lovely amalatas (Cassia fistula, the Indian laburnum) and kachnar (Bauhinia variegata) that burst into bloom during spring season, providing an enchantingly beautiful look to the Corbett National Park.
