The present study illustrates the floristic and plant biodiversity resources of Purna Wildlife Sanctuary, Mahal, Dang district, Gujarat during the period of 2010-2013. A total 70 plant species were recorded which were represented by 46 families and 64 genera. Out of 70 species, 46 tree species, 22 herbs and 2 orchids. The maximum IVI was recorded for Tectona grandis (44.532) and followed by Terminalia tomentosa, Sterculia urens. Among the herbs species, the highest Shannon-Wiener index was for Nervilia aragoana (0.197). The present quantitative checklist indicates the potential plant resources of the range which can be used for future biodiversity inventories and species conservation.
