A total of 50 species belong to 46 genera and 21 families were inventoried. A number of 44 species were Dicotyledonous belong to 18 genera and 18 families while 6 species were monocotyledonous belong to 7 genera and 3 families. The most represented families were Lamiaceae followed by Amaranthaceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae and Zygophyllaceae. Herbs comprise the predominant type of growth habit followed by shrubs, trees and vines (twinners) respectively.
