Abstract: 

Floristic studies help us to assess the plant wealth and its potentiality of any given area. Floristic studies also help us to understand the basic aspects of biology such as speciation, isolation, endemism and evolution. Flora of any area is not fixed up and it changes from time to time. Various ecological factors, mostly biotic, change the floristic components. The total number of species may be changed; dominant species may be replaced with other species; the floristic composition, i.e., family: genus: species ratio may be changed. The present study deal with enumeration of tree species belonging to Angiospermic plants which grows in the area of Mandvi town of Mandvi tehsil, Gujarat state, India. Tree species play an important role in urban ecosystem. Urban area and developing city need proper plantation in large number of Tree species. In this research work Tree species has been listed in systematically including indigenous, cultivated and naturalized plants. The study area show Tree diversity comprise of 35 genera and 46 species belonging to 23 Angiospermic families. The present study provides the status of Floristic details of selected study area.
