[Objective] Taking full utilization of the local plant resources in order to ensure the harmonious development of coal mining and eco-environment construction in Shendong area

the flora was elucidated. [Methods] The flora in Shendong mining area was regarded as a separated unit

the geographic distribution of seed plants were investigated and counted taxonomically by family

genera and species taxa; and the basic characteristics and the floristic attributes of the flora were elucidated. [Results] (1) Shendong mining area has a total of 53 families

135 generals and 217 species wild higher plants. The feverfew has the most species of 35

and the next big family is Leguminosae

has 26 species; and followed by the grass family and the rosaceous family

they have 18 and 14 species

respectively. There are 21 families with only one specie. (2) Shendong area has 159 families of grass plants and 52 families of woody plants. And most of them belong to the xerophyte and mesophyte

including 32 and 62 families

respectively. (3) The taxa is high and is characterized by abundant

complex

ancient and unique. [Conclusion] Shendong mining area has a relatively high plant diversity

which provided an important plant basis for suitable development and usage of coal resource and vegetation restoration in this area

although ecosystem is relatively fragile.
