  Plantation area of Zagros in west Iran is amongst the richest and most valuable interconnectedecosystems in Iran which contains enormous genetic and plant resources and it is of the significantimportance in terms of diversity and combination of floristic. The Protection area of Oshtorankooh inLorestan province is considered as one of the distinguished ecosystems of this area. For this reason,this study addresses the introduction of Floristic, and Chorology investigation and examination ofVegetation Structure of the plants in a certain part of central Zagros mountain slopes located atOshtorankooh, Lorestan. The results of this study include identification of 62 species related to 24families within area of just 50 hectares, located at 1600-1800 Meters altitude in Proteced area ofOshtorankooh. Asteraceae, Papilionaceae, Poaceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae and Apiaceae andthey are the most important available families of this region and comprise70%of overall species.Hemicryptophytes (32%) and Therophytes (31%) are the dominant biological forms. Chorologicinvestigation of the species and extraction of Chorotypes showed that Irano-Turanian (39%), Irano-Turanian–Mediterranean (22%) and Irano-Turanian–Mediterranean–Siberian European (17%)growing elements are the most important available chorological groups of this area and other plantcombination is related to Caro-types which are found in two or several regions and stand in the lowerorders of importance. In addition, endemically, 10 species, namely 16% of them are special andendemic within territory of Iran which comprises 0.6 % of overall endemic species of Iran. Manuscript profile

  Purpose: The purpose of the current research is to investigate the floristics and chorology of plants in Miandar region in Gilangreb city.Materials and Methods: After preparing a map (scale: 1:25000) and viewing photos and determining the geographical area of ​​the region, plants were collected in late winter and all months of spring and summer seasons of 2013. The collected samples were pressed dry and pasted on herbarium cardboards according to the conventional method.Findings: The collection of plants in Miandar region is more than 229 plant species belonging to 41 genera and 148 genera. Asteraceae families (33 species, 14.41 percent), papilionaceae (22 species, 9.6 percent), poaceae (19 species, 8.3 percent), Apiaceae (16 species, 6.99 percent), Lamiaceae (15 species, 55 (6.6%) and Liliaceae (12 species, 5.24%) are the most important plant families in the region, which include 51.09% of all species. Astraglus (10 species), Silene (5 species), Euphorbia (5 species) are among the largest plant genera in the studied area. In terms of biological form, 40.6% of species are hemicryptophytes, 35.38% are trophites, 11.36% are cryptophytes, 8.3% are phanerophytes, 3.94% are camphytes and 0.44% are geophytes.Conclusion: The study of the geographical distribution of the Miandar region flora showed that the most geographical distribution is in the Iranian-Turanian region with 122 species (53.27%) and the Iranian-Turanian/Mediterranean region with 34 species (14.85%).

  Kahman reserve covers an area of 400 km2 situated in the northeast of Aleshtar. The reserved area presents a variety of habitats, including cliffs and rocky outcrops, piedmont plains, alluvial plains, valleys and aquatic habitats. Minimum and maximum elevations of study area are 1600 and 3600 m, respectively. Mean annual precipitation of the area is 554 mm and mean annual temperature is 15.2 ˚C. In this study, 228 species are collected and identified. These species belong to 47 families and 154 genera. Asteraceae with 34 species, Lamiaceae with 25 species, Fabaceae and Poaceae each with 21 species are main families of this area. Life forms using Raunkier method indicates that the therophytes with 45.1 % (101 species) and hemicryptophytes with 33.9 (76 species) are the most frequent life forms. Investigation on geographical distribution of species showed 49.1 % of species (110 species) belong to Irano – Turanian region. Of these, 25 species are endemics of Iran.   Manuscript profile

  Doo Abe ecology covers an area of 200 km 2 situated in the northwest of Aleshtar. The ecology area presents a variety of habitats, including cliffs and rocky outcrops, piedmont plains, alluvial plains, valleys and aquatic habitats. Minimum and maximum elevations of study area are 1500and 3500m, respectively. Mean annual precipitation of the area is 530mm and mean annual temperature is 15.8C˚. In this study considered the plant biodiversity, medical, rare and endemic species of Doo Abe Aleshtar area. These species collected and identified by current ways in floristic considerations. The flora consideration showed 206 plant species are belong to 40 families and 139 genera. There are 70 medical species in this area. Asteraceae with 33 species, Lamiaceae with 25 species and fabaceae with 20 species are main families of this area. The Life form study using Raunkier method showed the most biological spectrumare are therophytes (40.5%) and hemicriptophytes (29.3%). The threat species identified according to International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural resources and by using Red data Book of Iran. There are three classes of Vulnerable, Lower Risk and data deficient in this area. The great number of them is Lower Risk 5.85% (12 species). The area is consist of 26 species of Iran endemic.
