Abstract
A Botanical study based on plots and itinerant inventory has been conducted in Azagny National Park., located on the ivorian cost. The objective was to analyse the floristic diversity of the park. At the end of the study, 519 plant species were recorded. Among them, 57 are endemic of Upper Guinea and 24 are threatened and endangered, justifying the inclusion of the Park in the Guinean Forest of West African Hotspot. The woody species diversity in the Park computing by the Shannon index (H) was 3.78. The more diverse ecological area were the plateau (H = 3.49). The dominant species of the Park are Anthostema aubryanum, Berlinia confusa, Anthonotha macrophylla, Xylopia staudtii and Mytragyna ciliata. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2008.
