In this paper, determination of medicinal plants was performed within eight departments in the area of the Suma Kosutnjak Natural Monument. Overall, a total of 101 medicinal plants were established in the whole research area. The identification of medicinal plants was conducted according to appropriate references. In addition to this, taxonomy analysis, definining of floral elements and finally determining of life forms for the recorded species were also performed. As for the taxonomy analysis, the greatest abundance in the whole research area was found for families Lamiaceae (12 representatives) and Rosaceae (10 representatives), while all other families are not so much present. There are overall 27 floral elements in the whole research area and among them, most of them belong to submideuropean (18 individuals) and european (16 individuals) floral elements, while the share of all other floral elements is much smaller. As for the life forms, the most dominant are hemicryptophytes (45 representatives), then phanerophytes (23 representatives) and finally therophytes (10 representatives). Differences between some departments have been established just in terms of the number of medicinal plants.
