Plant diversity of natural forest selected sites of Aurangabad district of Bihar was assessed. Study was carried out in twelve sites. A total of 126 species belonging to 49 families and 104 genera were reported from all twelve sites. Different indices such as Important Value Index (IVI), Species richness, Shannon Wiener index, Concentration of dominance and Evenness were estimated. For different sites highest IVI for tree was reported (Ficus mollis (2 sites), Acacia catechu, Diospyros melanoxylon var. tupra, Azadirachta indica, Lagerstroemia parviflora (2 sites), Strychnos potatorum, Butea monosperma, Lannea coromandelica and Diopspyros melanoxylon ). Study reveals that Mahulan and pathra forest sites are more diverse forest sites in the Aurangabad district. Study also reveals that Lantana camara var. aculeata an invasive showed its presence in the area, it can adversely impact the indigenous species in future.
