The study was conducted in Kurib Forest with the objective of Identification of Floristicrndiversity and structure in this forest. Systematic sampling method was used to collect datarnfor woody plan species. Sample plot was laid at a long line transacts which are laidrnhorizontally form South to north direction at low, medium and high altitude. Arnsystematic sampling plots of 20m x 20m in each site was established to take samples. Arntotal of 72 sample plots were established. Structural analysis was carried out on the basisrnof diversity, DBH, height, frequency, and basal area per hectare. The distribution of sizernclasses were evaluated by computing the density of individuals with DBH > 2, >10 andrn>20cm. the species diversity, species evenness and species richness were analyzed. Thernresult showed that a total of 39 different species of plants were identified in Kurib forest.rnPittosporum viridflorum was the dominant species followed by, Maesa lanceolata,rnMaytenus obscura and Acacia abyssinica and the list dominant woody plant species inrnKurib forest were Maytenus arbutifolia and Cupressus lusotanica. The tallest speciesrnwere Pittosporum viridflorum, Maesa lanceolata, Apodytes dimidiate and prunusrnAfricana. The shortest species were Combretum molle, Phytolacea dodecandera,rnSolancio gigas and Grandinium bullosa.rnKey words: Kurib forest, Species Diversity, Conservation, Sustainable utilization
