Abstract: The quadrat method and animal focus sampling were used to study the botanical diversity in the karst habitat and habitat selection by white-headed leaf monkey. According to the geology and vegetation, the karst habitat was divided into four parts which were the top the middle, the bottom and flat land inside hills. These four parts had their own dominant species of the plant and the Shannon-Venner diversity index and the evenness index were 6.152 and 0.8439 respectively. White-headed leaf monkey selectively used three parts of the hills with 66.45 ±5.65% on bottom, 21.15±5.49% on middle, 12.78± 6.8% on top. White-headed leaf monkey used the bottom mainly for rest and feeding, the middle mainly for moving and the top for sunbathing in winter. Therefore it is significant to protect the karst hill habitat as a whole.
