This paper presents a vegetation study of the Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve territories of the west-north of Hebron-Palestine. These site is a very important at a local level of species of plant and flora with a high endemicity average. The floristic analysis revealed the existence of 82 species, of which 16 (19.51%) are endemic and ninety plots of vegetation distributed in this area. The phytosociological approach and analysis are based on the Braun- Blanquet methodology 1979, and used classification of the land for Salvador Rivas Martinez to analysis of the physical factors of the bioclimate and climate. However, Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve, is located at the western of Hebron area and belong to infra Mediterranean to meso- Mediterranean thermotype, this area has a characteristic arid, dry and very little of sub-humid and located between Mediterranean basin, Negev, desert Sinai and Red Sea region. We took 300 samples of different species plants from Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve. In the statistical treatment we obtained two large groups in the cluster; group (A), representing forests, copses and high shrub lands influenced by climate (climatophilous); and group (B), representing pino copses which are influenced by climatophilous. We have three associations limited as Pistacio lentisci-Quercetum lokii Ighbareyeh J. M. H., A. A. Suliemieh, A. Cano-Ortiz & E. Cano nova. hoc loco., Ceratonio siliquae-Quercetum callipinii ass. nova. and Pino halepensis-Cupressetum sempervirentis ass. nova., with a three alliance as Pistachio- Quercion lokii, Ceratonio siliquae -Quercion calliprinae and Pino halepensis-Cupression sempervirentis.
