Zusammenfassung:The forest of Taza National Park (NP), located in North-Eastern Algeria, is characterized by a high floristic diversity. Analysis of the park flora showed 420 species belonging to 258 genera and 71 botanical families. Asteraceae (54 species), Fabaceae (37), Poaceae (34), Lamiaceae (26) and Brassicaceae (24) are the most dominant families. The endemism rate is around 12.38% (52 species); approximately 21% of endemic species of Algeria. Rare and very rare species were estimated to be 120 taxa representing 28.57% compared to the park flora. Analysis of global phytochoric spectrum shows dominance of native Mediterranean species (193 species). This floristic wealth contains a number of 205 species of medicinal interest.
