Abstract: The present study deals with the phytosociological study on flora and fauna diversity of Bonaigarh forest division, Sundergarh district, Odisha, India during 2014-2015. A total of 323 species were recorded which represented by 133 families and 270 genera. Out of 323 species, 120 trees (42 family and 99 genera), 61 shrubs and herbs (32 family and 51 genera), 19 climbers (13 family and 17 genera), 25 grasses (18 genera and poaceae family), 35 mammals (18 family and 30 genera), 13 reptiles (7 family and 12 genera) and 50 birds (20 family and 43 genera).
Keywords: Phytosociological, diversity, Bonaigarh Forest Division, Sundergarh district, Odisha, flora and fauna
