The present study reveals that there are 123 species of hydrophytes from 75 genera and 40 families were recorded. The most well-represented family among them was Cyperaceae. Among 123 species 49 dicots, 73 monocots, and 1 pteridophytes, distributed across 40 families and 75 genera. Of the species that have been identified, monocotyledons were found to be the dominant class. The herbarium contained the documented plants along with their botanical names, families, local names, and growth habits.The families Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Fabaceae, Onagraceae, Lythraceae, and Scrophulariaceae were recorded from Kondajji, Kurki, Bhati Lake, and the Harihara River, respectively, during the study, which was conducted in an unexplored region with no previous documentation. Therefore, proper management of the water bodies will aid in the conservation of these species. The present study provides a database of hydrophytes from the Davangere region of Karnataka, aimed at preserving local biodiversity and facilitating future research.
