ABSTRACT
The elevations that are part of Sierra de Najasa orographic complex have different conservation categories as a part of Camagüey´s Province Protected Area System. The objective of this work is the knowledge of their floristic richness in order to establish conservation strategies and management. A general list of the flora with 367 taxa of vascular plants, 241 genera and 75 families is presented; Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Asteraceae are the most representative families. 70.9% of taxa are known by their potential as medicinal, melliferous and timber plants, or other uses. The endemism is characterized by the presence of 40 endemics, mostly pancubans. The more important aspects that characterize the five elevations are taxa richness, richness by types of vegetation, endemism and economic potential of the flora.
