Unlike what happens with other neighboring provinces, and despite the richness of its flora, until now, Santa Fe lacked a comprehensive work referring to its native plants.This contribution reflects the effort of more than 20 years of work carried out by two groups of Santa Fe botanists: that of the Chair of Systematic Agronomic Botany of the Faculty of Agrarian Sciences, of the National University of the Litoral, and that of the chairs of
Botany and Ecology of the Faculty of Agrarian Sciences, of the National University of Rosario.
Some 26,000 herbarium specimens corresponding to the provincial flora, preserved between Both institutions constitute the basis of this work. The relevance of this work is appreciated n the 546 taxa cited for the first time for the province. Throughout this book comments are made on the phytogeography of Santa Fe and include keys for the recognition of the Divisions, Subdivisions and Classes of the vascular flora of the
province, and, for each of these groups, those that allow the recognition of their families and genders. It also offers a systematic catalog of the species, a glossary of terms botanicals that will clarify the terminology used in the keys and citations of the bibliography consulted.
