Abstract: Jalalabad is a small village inGilgit District in Pakistan, located around 20 kmeast of Gilgit city. Jalalabad village is one of the beautiful valleys located at 35°53.921 N latitude, 074°29.382 E longitude at an altitude of1500. The present study was carried out fromJuly-August 2021-2022 andwas comprised oftwo main parts. The first part was floristic diversity, the second part was phytosociological studies. The collected specimens consistof(156) plant species that belongedto 119 genera and 49 families. The life forms of the collected species were 62 (72%)whereHemicryptophyte weredominant, 33 (22%) Therophytes, 14 (9%) Chaemophyte, 42 (27%) Phanerophyte and Geophytes were 4 (2%). The breakup of the habit categories shows that the herbs with 103 (66%) species were dominant to show the flora of the study area, followed by shrubs with 17 (10%) species which shows the flora of the study area. Subshrubs by 9 (6%) and trees 27 (22%) contained the flora of the study area. We studied three stands and in each stand,weplaced twenty quadrate to recognize the dominant flora based onIVI. We recognized the dominant lifeform Hemicryptophytes and dominant taxa Thaymus linearisheld at the highest value (64.259) based onIVI.The phytosociological studies provided all required information from each standlike dominant habit categories, dominant life forms,and dominant taxa in the study area.
