ABSTRACT
Intro: Dry juniper forest of Baluchistan is an open type of forest with Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb as the principle tree species and a plenty of shrub growth in much open spaces (Troup, 1921; Champion et al., 1965). The average number of juniper trees per hectare have been estimated at hardly twenty eight (Khattak, 1976) and Caragana ambigua and Pervoskia abrotenoides are amongst the most frequent of the shrubs. Caragana is a medium sized bush growing on gritty sites while Pervoskia is a herb with bulbous thick tap root, lush green and a dominant colonizer of river beds and leaves (Zellar and Beg, 1969).
