There are many well known methods which are available for estimating thenumber of species in a plant community. However, these methods can reach reasonable estimate only at the case of large sample size, which is not allowable in real applications. Hwang & Shen(2008) poposed a new estimator which provide areduction in bias when the sample size is small. Neverless, the performence of root mean square error in Hwang & Shen estimator isn’t very well. The study would provide an improvement of Hwang & Shen(2008) an this is confirmed by several real data sets.
