Abstract

Colombia has 59 natural areas in the System of Natural National Parks. The inventory of the flora of these areas is incipient since only incomplete lists have been published for just 13 of them. This is the first article focused on publishing new information deposited in national herbaria on the flora of National Parks. It starts with the Wildlife and Flora Sanctuary Iguaque where a list of 816 species belonging to 141 families of vascular plants is documented. We found that 89.5% of the recorded species are native, two species are endemic to the Sanctuary, 30 can possibly considered as Assets Worthy of Conservation, 47 are categorized as being at some risk of threat, and 213 have some type of current or potential use.
