In the framework of floristic research programs carried out in the limestone mountain range of the Gulf of Orosei (Province of Nuoro- Central Eastern Sardinia), the authors wish to highlight the rich endemic component present at Codula di Luna. Fifty-eight floristic entities belonging to 28 families and 49 genera were found. Of these, 21 are exclusive to Sardinia, 13 are Sardinian-Corsican, 7 in common with Corsica and the Tuscan archipelago and 3 with Sicily, whereas the others exhibit a wider distribution area. The most widely represented families are Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Fabaceae. Following our field observations, we present details on their ecology, distribution and rarity.
