Abstract
One of the main problems currently facing the Bahía de Malagueta Wildlife Refuge is that information about the true richness of its threatened flora is scattered, as the only existing report was not based on sampling. This has hindered the implementation of effective conservation programs. Therefore, the objective of this research was to inventory the threatened flora present in the Bahía de Malagueta Wildlife Refuge. A floristic inventory was carried out, dividing the study area into strata. The threat category and distribution of each identified species were analyzed, as well as their possible uses. A total of 22 species with some threat category were identified; of these, 17 are new reports for the study area, and one is a new report for the province of Las Tunas. According to their distribution, three of the analyzed species are native and 19 are endemic, of which eight have a restricted distribution. The presence of one endemic fruit tree and three medicinal species is noteworthy. The results indicate that the richness of threatened flora found in the Bahía de Malagueta Wildlife Refuge is 17 species greater than that reported in the Red List of Cuban Flora for this protected area, and that five of the analyzed species are priorities for conservation, and that four threatened plant species of economic interest are present in the study area.
