This study was conducted on Gedo Dry Evergreen Montane Forest in West ShewarnZone of Oromia National Regional State, 182-196 km west of Addis Ababa (Finfinne). Thernobjective of the study was to determine floristic composition and structural analysis of GedornForest. Systematic sampling method was used to collect vegetation data from 72 (20 m x 20 m) andrnsubplots of 1 m x 1 m at the four corners and the center of the large quadrat for herbaceous plants.rnVegetation classification was performed using PC-ORD software package. Sorensenâ€™s similarityrncoefficient was used to detect similarities and dissimilarities among communities. Shannon -rnWiener diversity index was applied to quantify species diversity and richness. All trees and shrubsrnwith Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) 2 cm were measured for height and diameter. A total ofrntwo hundred thirty five specimens of plants (herbs, shrubs, lianas and trees) were recorded. Onernhundred and fourty of the species collected from sample plots were used for floristic and structuralrnanalysis. The rest, 95, were collected out of sample plots but from the forest and used to describernthe complete floristic list. Asteraceae is the most dominant family with 36 species in 24 generarnfollowed by Fabaceae with 16 species in 14 genera and Lamiaceae with 16 species and 13 genera.rnOut of the plants identified in this study, 25 were endemic species which have been included in thernpreliminary list assessed for IUCN Red Data List, of which 1 species is Critically Endangered, 18rnspecies in Least Concern, 4 species Nearly Threatened, and 2 species vulnerable. The density ofrntree species in Gedo Forest decreases with increasing height and DBH classes. The forest isrncharacterized by high density of trees in the lower class than in the higher. Three layers (lower,rnmiddle and upper) of tree were identified from the study of vertical stratification of Gedo Forestrnfollowing the International Union for Forestry Research Organization (IUFRO) classificationrnscheme. The regeneration status of selected woody species was assessed as well as the forest wasrncompared with five dry evergreen forests of Ethiopia. Based on the result of the study, research onrnthe soil seed bank, population dynamics, biology and ecology of endemic species andrnEthnobotanical studies to explore the indigenous knowledge on the diverse uses of plants and itsrnconservation, and Participatory management of the forest were recommended.rnKey words/Phrases: Dry evergreen montane forest, Endemic species, Gedo Forest, IUCNrnRed Data List, Phytogeographical comparison, vegetation structure
