The objective of the present study is to provide the inventory of the terrestrial flora and vegetation in the central sector of Ana Maria gulf, southern off Ciego de Ávila province, central Cuba. By conducting field surveys, literature review as well as herbarium materials consultation, up to 47 vascular plants; grouped in 43 genera and 25 families were herein enlisted. Algodón Grande key exhibited the highest species numbers among all sampled keys, due probably to have the largest superficial area of emerged land. Three main vegetation types were identified in the study area, being the mangrove forest the most representative.
