The first description of Cavara Libyan collection in NAP is given, highlighting its relevance among the Libyan collection present in Italian Herbaria in terms of specimen number and diversity of genera represented. The names of 19 taxa belonging to 9 families and described by Cavara, sometimes jointly with Trotter, or Grande, and by other botanists (Pampanini and Hackel) on material collected by Cavara, are here typified. Types previously designated by others are also listed and referenced. A new combination and status novus Limonium hirtiflorum (Cavara) Cuccuini is proposed
