A studyhave claimed that flower in bloom inparticular time of year are much likely to beof particular color to better attractpollinating insects [4]. The life form and leafform of collected species of familyBrassicaceae were also studied anddetermined from the research area.[5]studied and investigated the life form ofBrassicaceae in protected region of sarigol.The plants collected from the region aretaken into consideration for study themembers of family Brassicaceae, havedifferent habitats some were present in thedesert and hilly area, some are inhabited inplains area on roadsides, waste places etc.10 species of the family Brassicaceaerepresenting different habitats in Hail regionwere studied. Beside this the ecologicalparameters such as Abundance, conservationstatus of the plants were also studied. Thespecies belonging to family Brassicaceaedistributed throughout the study region.References[1] Bhati J, H Sonah, T Jhang, NK Singh and TR Sharma. 2010.
