There are 2,532 species of vascular plants represented by 1,034 genera and 199 families in the protected sites. Some 130 endemic species are found in the protected sites. Taking into consideration the ecology and vegetation, Nepal could be divided into four floristic regions i.e. There are 399 endemic flowering plants in Nepal of which about 63 percent are from the high mountains, 38 percent from the mid hills, and only 5 percent from the Tarai and Siwaliks.
