The flora consisted of 54 plant species belonging to 30 families. The dominant families were Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Solanaceae with 4 species, followed by Euphorbiaceae, Mimosaceae, Moraceae and Zygophyllaceae with 3 species. Each of the Amaranthaceae, Apocynaceae, Capparidaceae, Poaceae, Rhamnaceae, Verbenaceae had 2 species, while the remaining families had a single species. The biological spectrum showed that therophytes (16 spp., 29.6%), megaphanerophytes (14 spp., 25.9%). nanophanerophytes (10 spp., 18.5%), chamaephytes (06 spp., 11.1%), hemicryptophytes (05 spp., 9.26%), Geophytes (03 spp., 5.56%), had occurrence in the investigated area. Leaf spectra of plants consisted of microphylls (50%), mesophylls (25.9%), leptophylls (16.7%), nanophylls (5.56%) and megaphylls (1.85%). The study concludes that the dominance of therophytes indicated that the investigated area was under heavy biotic pressure.
