Abstract: The present study has been conducted in Hada El Sham area, Western K.S. A. The study is mainly taxonomic that included collection, preparation, identification and classification of plant species in the study area. A total of 108  plant species were identified belonging to 32 families, and 74 genera, represent the flora of the study area. The study also included a survey of the uses of plant species of the area, where (89) species out of identified species were found to have economic importance. These represent (84%), of the total plant species of the study area. The study reviewed the names of families and species according to recently published corrections, and found some were altered, so they were changed to recent names. It is recommended to conserve the plant species of the study area so as to reduce the encroachment of desertification and preserve the plant species of economic, and medicinal importance.
