Abstract
Thirty-eight species belonging to 24 families were recorded as weeds of wheat from three different areas of district Muzaffarabad during March-April, 1990. Family Asteraceaea had 7 species while Papilionaceae and Poaceae each had 3 species. Two species were recorded for Caryophyllaceae, Boraginaceae, Lamiaceae and Ranunculaceae. Each of the remaining 17 families had single species. There were 78.95% therophytes, 5.26% hemi-cryptophytes and 15.79% geophytes. The index of similarity shows close resemblance due to similar ecological conditions, season and proximity of the sites within the area.
