The map, the insets and the explanatory notice include a brief study of the geobotanical subdivisions of the lebanese territory. From the botanical point of view the authors emphasize the presence of two floristical suites : on a mediterranean sensus strictus, the other presteppic mediterranean. The subdivision into vegetation levels and series of each suite was made in relation with the different abiotic factors (climate, substrate and topography) and the structure of the main plant groups. The potentialities of those structures are valorized by taking into consideration the anthropic use of the landscape.
