Abstract	The study was conducted on Jibat Forest to determine the floristic composition, vegetation structure and plant community types. Systematic sampling method was used to collect vegetation data. A total of 74 quadrats each with a size of 20 m x 20 m for woody species and with in each major plot, five sub plots of size 1 m x 1 m were established for herbacious data collection. All plant species in each quadrat were recorded. Height and DBH of each woody plant species with height ≥ 2.5 m and DBH ≥ 2.5 cm were measured. A total of 183 species representing 161 genera and 73 families were recorded. Of the total species, 16 (8.74%) species are endemic to Ethiopia. Herbs had the highest composition followed by shrubs and trees. Six plant community types were identified from the cluster analysis and were named after 2 to 3 dominant species in each cluster. The description of each community type was given. The total basal area of the forest was 59.79 m/ha. Analysis of importance value index indicated that Ilex mitis had the highest value (27.7). The study revealed the prevalence of small-sized individuals in the Jibat Forest. Six population distribution patterns were recognized, i.e., inverted J, irregular, U-shape, bell-shape, Gauss-type and Jshaped patterns. Therefore, based on the results of this study, detailed study on regeneration potential of the forest is recommended.
