RESUMO:

The study covers carrying out a floristic survey in the Pico do Cabugy Ecological Park, located in the phytogeographical domain of Caatinga, a conservation unit (CU) in the central region of Rio Grande do Norte. The relevance of floristic research is highlighted, which contributes to the understanding and preservation of local biodiversity and ecological studies that provide crucial data for understanding ecological patterns and processes. Floristic surveys also facilitate the identification of new occurrences and new species, conservation planning, environmental monitoring and are also a valuable tool for management, establishing a solid basis for research and promoting the advancement of scientific knowledge applicable in several areas. Rio Grande do Norte, located in the Northeast region of Brazil, is characterized by the predominance of the Caatinga phytogeographic domain. This domain is one of the least protected in the country, with only approximately 1.2% of its extension preserved by conservation units. Considering the significant high richness of the Caatinga, marked by the presence of endemic lineages and because it is so devastated, it is crucial to know this biodiversity to protect species, ecosystems and natural resources. The Pico do Cabugy Ecological Park is home to one of the rare remnants of volcanic activity and an unknown flora, therefore, collections were carried out using the walking method and carried out from April 2022 to August 2023, with 44 families, 91 genera and 114 species, of which 10 are new occurrences for the state. Botanical samples are deposited in the RN herbarium and duplicates sent to the MOSS, HUEFS, RB, IPA and RB herbaria. This study establishes a foundation for future research to be carried out in and around the area. Given the progress of wind farms and tourism in the area, understanding the local flora becomes crucial for environmental preservation. The development of a management plan is essential, aiming to safeguard the caatinga flora.
