The study was carried out at Col. Sher Jung National Park in Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh, India, during the year 2018-19 with the aim to assess floristic composition, similarity index and dissimilarity index of major forest communities. Eight major forest communities were selected such as Shorea robusta, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Syzygium cumini, Shorea robust + Terminalia tomentosa, Shorea robusta+ Eucalyptus tereticornis, Shorea robusta+ Syzygium cumini, Shorea robusta+ Diospyros melanoxylon and Mixed forest. 90 plant species were recorded in these forests of which 6 were trees, 37 shrubs and 47 forbs. Mixed forest and Shorea robusta+ Syzygium cumini, are similar in shrub composition and have maximum similarity index. Shorea robust + Terminalia tomentosa and Syzygium cumini forest community has minimum similarity index. Shorea robusta+ Diospyros melanoxylon and Shorea robusta + Terminalia tomentosa forest has highest similarity in herbs. Whereas, Syzygium cumini and Shorea robusta forest community have lower similarity in herbaceous vegetation.
