A floristic and physiognomic characterization was made to the flora and vegetation of Casino Campestre, the most important city park in Camagüey, Cuba. The presence of 198 species from 170 genera and 72 families was reported to live in the park. Most species are exotic trees, which also grow along with some native and endemic elements. Their social, cultural, and environmental significance was assessed.
