Flora

The vegetation is principally a low forest with sometimes a fair amount of bamboo. The chief trees are Butea, Bombax, Anogeissus, Acacia, Buchanamia and Boswellia. The shrubs or small trees include species of Grewia, Zizyphus, Casearia, Prosopis, Capparis, Woodfordia, Phyllanthus, Carissa, and the like. In the Southern outlying part of Dewas, near the Narmada, the forest vegetation is that characteristic of the Central Indian Highlands, with Ougeinia, Tectona, Terminalia, and Dalbergia as typical trees.
