The study presents analysis of woody plant diversity and structure of MenagesharnSuba Forest, in Central Highlands of Ethiopia. Seventy five quadrats each 20 m X 20 m werernlaid out along three line transects in Menagesha Suba State Forest to collect vegetation data. Arntotal of 112 woody plant species, representing 84 genera and 51 families were recorded. ThernFamily Fabaceae with 12 species had the highest number of species followed by Asteraceae,rnwith 8 species, and Rosaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Flacourtiaceae and Oleaceae with 5 species each.rnThe forest had the Shannon- Wiener diversity index of 2.57 and evenness of 0.92. Sixrncommunity types were recognized from the hierarchical cluster analysis of polythetic divisivernTWIINSPAN output: Dovyalis verrucosa - Maytenus arbutifolia, Dovyalis verrucosa -rnSideroxylon oxyacanthum, Dovyalis abyssinica - Myrsine africana, Myrsine melanophloeos -rnLandolphia buchananii, Myrsine africana - Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata and Juniperusrnprocera - Ficus sur. A floristic comparison of Menagesha Suba State Forest with other relatedrnforests in Ethiopia revealed relatively high floristic similarity. The analysis of the diameter atrnbreast height distribution shows normal inverted J-shaped pattern. The five most dominant treernspecies of Menagesha Suba State Forest occupied 41.77% of total important value index. Byrnrecognizing the significance of Menagesha Suba State Forest, recommendation is made tornimprove the protection and conservation status of the forest, through modern joint forestrnmanagement approaches and sustainable utilization.rnKey Words: Biodiversity, Dry Evergreen Afromontane Forests, Menagesha Suba State Forest,rnWoody Plant Diversity, Plant Community
