Summary of the 10th Iter Mediterraneum. —The author gives a report of the tenth Iter Mediterraneum, which took place in the three departments of the extreme southeastern France, from 26th May to 9th Juny 2000. The 10 participants were from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Turkey. More than 1.300 sheets of vascular plants were collected, corresponding to ca. 700 taxa. The first part of this article is devoted to a general presentation of this country (geology, hydrology, climate, relief ...) then to the description of the 23 main explored stations with the numbers of the sheets collected in each one. The complete list of the taxa collected in alphabetical order is reported. Among them, we have to point out a new species to France (Poa ligulata Boiss.), identified by H. Scholz, and some endemics or plants with high biogeographical value as: Aquilegia bertolonii, Asperula hexaphylla, Ballota frutescens, Centaurea balbisiana, Gentiana ligustica or Micromeria marginata.
