Several multivariate ecological community analyses were conducted after determining the presence of plant species in the various habitats using a random sampling technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 155 plant species belonging to 120 genera and 49 families occurred in the area. Asteraceae was the largest family (12% of plant species) followed by Rosaceae (11%). The patterns of species distribution across families were uneven, with 50% of the species belonging to only 7 families, and 23 families being monotypic. In terms of functional groups, the herbaceous growth form dominated. Therophytes were the dominant life form, indicating that the vegetation was disturbed. According to the phytogeographical research, 65% of the species documented in the study area were native, 15% were invasive, 14% naturalized, and 5% being casual. The majority (30%) of exotic species were reported along roadsides. Of all the species found, 39% grew in their natural habitats, such as forests, and 11% were scattered along roadsides. Plant species were grouped in five different clusters based on their floristic similarity. According to the estimated diversity indices, natural forest has the greatest values for Shannon\u2019s and Simpson\u2019s index. We found that the study area serves as the natural habitat for several significant, endangered medicinal plants, including <jats:italic>Arnebia benthamii, Bergenia ciliata, Delphinium roylei, Gentiana kurroo, Phytolacca acinosa, Saussurea costus<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Trillium govanianum<\/jats:italic>. Therefore, we recommend that human intervention in natural regeneration efforts be prioritized in these habitats to increase the population of these species.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Examining species features from the perspective of functional groups contributes to our understanding of the ecological aspects of the flora.
