The Dadia – Lefkimi – Soufli National Park is a protected area of high biodiversity distinguished as particularly significant not only at the national but also at the European level. The long-term but mild human exploitation coupled with the heterogeneity of the biotope and its preservation at a high natural level has resulted in the conservation of the natural landscape as well as a unique and rare flora and fauna. The present study consists a first floristic inventory of the National Park’s pastureland, based on fieldwork. Concise notes on the chorology, life-form and the habitats of plant taxa are provided.
