    Abstract

    The flora of Santa Catarina is the best known in Brazil, and yet considerable knowledge gaps remain. Aiming at filling these gaps, we present here 55 new records of vascular plants for this Brazilian state, and the re-collection of four species after more than 50 years. About 50% of new records are non-native in the area. We present short descriptions of each of these species, citations to published illustrations, and also comments and field pictures of most of them.
