The checklist of native and naturalised exotic plants for the Alligator Rivers Region (ARR) in western Arnhem Land, NT (area approx 26,500 km2) includes 1899 taxa. This comprises 1874 species, 18 of which are represented by 2 or more subspecies or varieties. Of the 174 plant families represented in the region the grass family, Poaceae, is the largest having 220 species. A summary of the flora of the ARR in terms of lifeform composition shows that almost 60% of the terrestrial plant-life either dies or is deciduous during the Dry season (May- September). Separate lists of species occurring in the region with conservation significance to the NT (364 species) and of the naturalised exotic flora (99 species) are provided. For each species on the checklist, lifeform, known habitat association(s), a voucher reference, synonyms or previously misapplied scientific names, common names (where known) and a reference to recent taxonomic literature is given.
