    ABSTRACT
    This paper reports the results of a floristic survey carried out in the area falling within the S.A.C. ITA020002 “Boschi di Gibilmanna e Cefalù” (Sicily, Italy), a site with a marked environmental heterogeneity lying from almost sea level to over 1000 meters of altitude. On the basis of our investigations, a total of 605 taxa has been detected, including some endemic or rares pecies, as Anthemis cupaniana Tod. ex Nyman, Arabis collina Ten. subsp. rosea (DC.) Minuto, Brassica incana Ten., Hieracium racemosum Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd. subsp. crinitum (Sm.) Rouy, Melittis melissophyllum L. subsp. albida (Guss.) P.W. Ball., Stachys sylvatica L., Symphytum gussonei F.W. Schultz, Viburnum tinus L., etc. A map with floristic emergencies has been prepared in order to highlight the sites with the greatest conservation interest in the area. Besides, the taxonomical, biological and chorological composition of this flora is analyzed and discussed.
