Abstract
The vegetation is studied in the area around the Olmedo spa, in terms of its soil, bioclimatic, biogeographical and floristic factors. This allows us to identify and delimit the climactic plant communities and their most representative serial stages. The ordination of the work is structured around the recognised plant series in the territory, starting with the climatophilous and edaphohygrophilous heads of series. A selection of diverse graphic material is provided to document the statements in the text. The work highlights the important ecological and scenic value of the territory in the study. Particular emphasis is given to the contribution of the 1908 doctoral thesis of the pharmacist Daniel Gutiérrez Martín on the flora of the district of Olmedo, of which one noteworthy feature is his herborisation of the interesting taxon Rhaponticoides alpina (= Rhaponticoides linaresii (Lázaro Ibiza) M.V. Agab. & Greuter; = Centaurea linaresii Lázaro Ibiza; = Centaurea alpina L.) described by Blas Lázaro Ibiza in the genus Centaurea. Finally, the work also includes a number of commentaries on medicinal plants in the study area and some botanical routes for the purpose of visiting certain plant ecosystems of high ecological value in the Tierra de Pinares region. The syntaxonomical checklist of the vegetation in the territory is also provided.
