Abstract
For the first time a checklist of the vascular flora of the coast of Polignano a Mare, a town located by the Adriatic Sea, about 30 km south of Bari (the capital of Apulia) is presented. At the end of the floristic work, in total, 457 species were listed. Some of them are more important than others since they are endemic, amphiadriatic, of phytogeographic interest or included under the International Conventions of Berne and CITES, Regional and Italian Red List or the Directive 92/43/EEC. In a review of the literature it was found that three species were not correctly reported, five were not found at all, twelve are considered alien and four are believed to be new entries at the regional level.
