This paper presents a chorological, biological, and ecological analysis of the wild vascular flora of Mesolongi city, which consists of 346 taxa. 234 taxa are reported here for the first time. Fourteen chorological groups are distinguished in Mesolongi, with the Mediterranean element (44%) being dominant. Forty-five taxa are adventives, and their origins, times and methods of introduction are discussed. In the life-form spectrum, therophytes are over-represented (53.5%). Ecological groups are defined with respect to four significant parameters: warmth, moisture, soil reaction, and salt stress.
