This is a review of current studies in diversity of the flora and main vegetation types in the Brazilian Pantanal. The flora of this wetland, nearly 2,000 species, constitutes a pool of elements of wide distribution and from more or less adjacent phytogeographic provinces, such as Cerrado, dry seasonal forests, Chaco, Amazonia and Atlantic Forest. The most numerous group includes wide-distribution species, mainly herbs, while the second contingent comes from the Cerrado. Endemic plants are rare, numbering only seven. The vegetation of the sedimentary floodplain is a mosaic of aquatics, floodable grasslands, riparian forests, savannas (cerrados), cerrado woodlands, dry forests, and a large area of mono-dominant savannas, and pioneer woodlands. The main vegetation types are briefly described with their characteristic species, and their estimated areas are given according to the latest mapping.
这是一篇关于巴西潘塔纳尔湿地植物多样性及主要植被类型的当前研究综述。这片湿地的植物群有近2000种，构成了一个分布广泛的元素库，这些元素来自或多或少相邻的植物地理省份，如塞拉多、干燥季节性森林、查科、亚马逊和大西洋森林。数量最多的类群包括广泛分布的物种，主要是草本植物，而第二大群体来自塞拉多。特有植物很稀少，仅有7种。沉积泛滥平原的植被是水生植物、可淹没草原、河岸森林、稀树草原（塞拉多）、塞拉多林地、干燥森林以及大面积单一优势稀树草原和先锋林地的镶嵌体。文中简要描述了主要植被类型及其特征物种，并根据最新地图给出了它们的估计面积。
