Chhattisgarh has diverse tropical deciduous forests which occupied approximately 44% of its geographic area. It has incredibly rich in biodiversity but remain underexplored ecologically. Gomarda Wildlife Sanctuary (GWS) lacks systematic data-driven ecological profiling of shrub and tree plant species. Therefore, ecological survey was conducted in the Saraipali and Damdarha villages of GWS using Circular Quadrat Method. Plant identification was conducted as per Bentham & Hooker's taxonomic hierarchy, and was augmented by preliminary digital screening (Google Lens) and rigorous validation by using authentic literature. The study was recorded 59 plant species (61.02% shrubs and 38.98% trees) with the Leguminosae family being most dominant (11 species). Ecologically, trees exhibited greater structural dominance than shrubs. S. robusta recorded highest frequency (92.5%) and maximum IVI of 82.15. while shrub S. occidentalis recorded as lowest IVI (1.12). The study is geographically restricted to two village boundaries within expansive sanctuary and primarily profiles tree and shrub layers and potentially underrepresenting herbaceous ethnobotanical resources.
