Riparian vegetation that grows on the bank of the Sebangau river plays an important role in supporting the composition of the biota and the quality of river water. This study aims to investigate the condition of riparian vegetation in the Sebangau river. Sampling was carried out in March 2020 using quadrant methods are with various size 1 × 1 m plots for herb and grass habitus 5 × 5 m for shrub habitus, copses, lianas, and 10 × 10 m plots for tree habitus. The data analyzed were species composition, diversity, and species dominance. The results showed that the plant composition at the study location was characterized by herb and grass habitus where we found 4 families (214 individuals) of grass and herbs, 3 families (135 individuals of shrubs, copses and lianas), and 2 families (282 individuals of tree habitus). The herb and grass habitus were dominated by Hydrilla verticillata species, shrub, copse, and liana habitus were dominated by Pandanus helicopus species, and the dominant species of tree habitus was Shorea balangeran . The low diversity index was found in tree habitus, while for herb and grass habitus and shrubs, shrubs and lianas were classified as moderate diversity.
