Aims: Floristic survey of an area is a useful tool for identifying the biodiversity, particularly endemic, resistant, and endangered species. In the current study, plant species were classified to describe the flora of Galehdar watershed in Southern Fars Province. Materials & Methods: The environmental data including climate, geology, and topography characteristics were obtained from Iran Meteorological Organization (IMO), Geological Survey & Mineral Explorations of Iran (GSI), and National Cartographic Center (NCC), respectively. The specimens of the study area were collected, identified, and classified according to Raunkiaer's method and life-form class. Findings: The flora of study area includes ۱۶۴ species belonging to ۱۲۹ genera and ۵۵ families, which most frequent species belong to Asteraceae (۲۵ species), Papilionaceae (۲۱ species), and Poaceae (۱۱ species). Conclusion: The chorological studies indicated that ۵۷.۹%, ۱۲.۸%, and ۲۹.۳% of species belong to Irano-Turanian, Sahara-Seindian, and Irano-Turanian, Sahara-Seindian zone, respectively.
