Tropical forests of India are facing rapid loss in floristic diversity and resultant changes of vegetation necessitate the assessment of plant composition and diversity. The present study was conducted to assess the composition of native tree species of Chilphi Ghati Forest Reserve of Kabeer dham district, Chhattisgarh. Chilphi Ghati is deciduas tropical forest extending to covers an area of 200 Sq KM and lies between 22^° 17'18”N latitude and 81^° 05'41”E longitude. Simple random sampling methods were used to tree species composition and seedling status of tree species. A total of 24 tree genera under 21 families and 24 regenerating tree genera fewer than 24 families were recorded in the study area. Family Dipterocarpaceae the highest number of tree genera (61 genera) while family Dipterocarpaceae possessed the highest number (97 genera) for regenerating trees. The survey indicated that Shorea robusta is the most dominant tree species with the highest relative density (RD), relative frequency (RF) and importance value index (IVI).The native trees genera of this remnant forest need attention for immediate conservation programs to prevent further degradation of the forest.
