The Ricote Valley is located in the Autonomous Community of Murcia (Spain). It is a secular landscape with anthropic influences from different cultures, from the Iberians to the Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs, etc. This intense and prolonged occupation and management of the territory has led to a great transformation of the original vegetation cover. On the occasion of the XII Jornadas Nacionales de Campo and the IV Simposio Internacional de Biogeografía, a systematic inventory of representative plots of each of the plant landscapes was undertaken. This paper shows the biogeographical characterisation of these landscapes, as well as the results of the analysis of the conservation status and the chorological affiliation of the list of species detected. The results show a large number of common species or species with low threats as a result of the enormous transformation and trivialisation of the vegetation landscape. On the other hand, Mediterranean component affiliations dominate, although those components with wide territorial ranges are low, which may contradict what was stated above. It is also interesting to note that the Euro-Siberian component is higher than might be expected.
