One
of the most interesting features of the Vegetation is the ever green
shola forest (wet, temperate) from which originate many perennial
streams. Sholas are probably one of the most valuable treasures
of the hills as prime watershed and as shelter for wildlife, in
addition to being the terminal refuge for endangered species of
flora and fauna e.g. Loya, Orchids, Nilgiri tahr, Grizzled giant
Squirrel etc., |
