The western limit of the alluvial plains of the river Parana in Argentina presents a pronounced scarp, above the level of floodings. The vegetation, a semideciduos subtropical forest of Amazonian origin, was analyzed using the point-centred quarter method. The parameters relative frequency, relative density, relative dominance and importance value index for each species are provided, together with a brief structural description. The floristic composition is compared with similar forests elsewhere in Argentina and Brazil.
