Abstract

In order to update the knowledge on the flora of the Babors’ Kabylia (North-East algeria), with the objective of conservation of the local flora, a floristic and biogeographical analysis was conducted on the vegetation of one mountain very little studied (Tababort, 1969 m). The surveys carried out at the level of forest and pre-forest formations of Cedrus atlantica, Quercus canariensis, Abies numidica as well as mountain grasslands, led us to identify 290 taxa belonging to 207 genera and 68 families of vascular plants. The studied flora essentially belongs to the mediterranean element (53.4%), followed by the northern element (28.6%). The endemic element is appreciable with 14.1% of the flora analyzed. The hemicryptophytes predominate the biological spectrum.
