Abstract
The flora of Prespa National Park is composed of 1326 plant species. Among them are 17 Pteridophytes and 1309 Spermatophytes, represented by 11 Gymnosperms, 1057 Dicotyledons and 241 Monocotyledons. The flora is evaluated and categorised into species which can be considered as new for the Greek flora, species under international protection, and rare local species threatened with extinction. Plant species are also categorised according to their ecological requirements, with special reference to the endemic species and their centres of origin in respect to their total percentage (15.4%).
