The present study deals with the phytosociological study of Taranga hill forest in Satlasana taluka, Mehsana district, Gujarat during 2021-2023. A total of 82 tree species were recorded which were represented by 63 genera and 31 families. Fabaceae was the most diverse family with maximum 25 species followed by Moraceae with 6 species and Apocynaceae with 5 species. The IVI values ranged from 0.27 to 22.05. The maximum IVI was recorded for Vachellia nilotica (22.05) followed by Pongamia pinnata (19.14), Diospyros montana (15.46), Senegalia Senegal (17.02) and Gymnosporia senegalensis (16.08) respectively.
