The floristic investigation of the area of Mt Imittos in Sterea Ellas, Greece, resulted in the addition of 95 specific and infraspecific vascular plant taxa. As a result the flora of the mountain now comprises 869 taxa. For each newly recorded taxon local distribution and habitat types are presented. A significant part of the new records concern adventive taxa a fact that reflects the present day dynamics of the flora of human influenced and heavily urbanized areas of Greece. Old records of the Greek endemics Anthemis tomentosa subsp. heracleotica and Centaurea orphanidea are also confirmed. A detailed checklist of the total vascular flora is also presented. The results of floristic analysis and phytogeographical aspects demonstrate the pronounced Mediterranean character of the mountain's flora. Floristic similarities to other mountains of Sterea Ellas and Peloponnisos are discussed.
