AND CONCLUSIONSilice the taxonomie study of the flow ering plants was conducted on some undisturbed areas in the U n iv e rs ity Campus, the yie ld in g re s u lt is by no mean in s ig n ific a n t and creates much advantage fo r in te rp re ta tio n o f environ
ment condition of the U n iv e rsity Campus, before and a fte r the establishm ent.
A fte r working fo r a year, i t brings the knowledge th a t the selected s ite of the Khon Kaen U n iv e rsity is mixed fo re s t which was degraded continuously by the man.
Many tim ber trees of economic importance were cut down fo r th e ir own uses and clearing the fo re s t fo r a g ric u l
tu ra l purpose. Also a fte r the establishm ent o f the u n i
v e rs ity the fo re s t condition begins to restore n a tu ra lly . Trees s t i l l keep growing smoothly e ith e r from old stumps or the young seedlings. M oisture content's condition m aintains a u to m a tica lly. I t is a fa c t th a t nature has conserved it s own.
The record of 157 species w ith in 58 fa m ilie s of flow ering p lants is q uite fa ir in number and the presence o f those known specimens is a good s ta rt fo r the new U ni
v e rs ity Herbarium o f the north-eastern center province.
Yet such a record and the deposited specimens do not means the fin a l fo r the study. I t is in fa c t th a t more
specimens of other species in d iffe re n t fa m ilie s are s t i l l expected to be met p a rtic u la rly the flower-unseen m ate ria l accounting to the hab it and behavior of plants and the over looking of the observer.
Thus, the taxonomic study o f the flow ering plants in Khon Kaen U n iv e rsity Campus is to be continued in te n s iv e ly studied, both in undisturbed areas and the other supposed to in fe s t by various introd ucing species.
