This is informative, but rigorous synthetic work, identifies more than 3500 taxa (species and subspecies) known today from the vascular flora of Valencia, Spain. It is aimed particularly at students and professionals in botany, but also intended to be useful to all kinds of naturalists who want to know the extensive plant heritage of Valencia.

The work begins with an introduction to physical, bioclimatic and biogeographical aspects of the territory, and is complemented by a glossary of botanical terms that helps correct interpretation of the keys, which form the central body of the work.
