Flora

Taxonomic list of the Gibraltar flora compiled by Leslie Linares (plants (at) gonhs.org) GONHS Botanical Section Co-ordinator. The list is based on the European Nature Information System (EUNIS) database.

This is the latest, updated checklist of the Gibraltar flora and is based on field data collected by members of GONHS. Illustrations and text for many of these species can be found in the book "The Flowers of Gibraltar". An annotated checklist will shortly be available as a pdf.
