Compendium of contributions to the “Flora of the Catalan Littoral Range (section comprised between the Besós and Tordera rivers)” by Pere Montserrat.

At the end of the 40’s, Dr. Montserrat conducted a detailed and complete study about the flora of the Marina Range (eastern Catalonia). His study described 1295 taxa and has become a referent for all the botanists and naturalists of the area. Taking his words “We offer this work to the youths who, with eagerness, try to learn everything about plants [...] they can complete the catalogue and precise the preferences of each taxon” and as homage and deep admiration to his person and to his work, we have compiled published and unedited data of novelties for the flora of this area and new locations of rare or new species for grids of 10 x 10 km. In this article, there are presented 36 novelties for the flora. However, only 18 taxa can be strictly considered as new contributions because Dr. Montserrat already pointed out that the rest could be present (often accurately indicating where to find them), or just correspond to nomenclature changes or revisions of his herbarium. Montserrat outlined that his catalogue may represent the 99% of the flora of the studied area, and he was not at all mistaken because the 18 new taxa correspond to the 1.37%.
