Abstract: Suppose a compact torus

T

acts on a closed smooth manifold

M

. Under certain conditions, Guillemin and Zara associate to

(M, T)

a labeled graph

m G_{M}

where the labels lie in

H^{2} (B T)

. They also define the subring

H_{T}^{*} (m G_{M})

of

, where

V (m G_{M})

is the set of vertices of

m G_{M}

and we call

H_{T}^{*} (m G_{M})

the "graph cohomology" ring of

m G_{M}

. It is known that the equivariant cohomology ring of

M

can be described by using combinatorial data of the labeled graph. The main result of this paper is to determine the ring structure of equivariant cohomology ring of a flag manifold of type

G_{2}

directly, using combinatorial techniques on the graph

m G_{M}

. This gives a new computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a flag manifold of type

G_{2}

.
