Plant life Mariola, with its over 1400 vascular plants, is doubtlessly a marvellous example of the biodiversity of species and settings. It is famous for the ones with aromatic and medicinal properties: Mariola sage, camomile, thyme, cat’s tail, hypericum, rock tea,... and for other ethno-botanical uses that have been made of them since ancient times; for preparing drinks, as a culinary condiment, as a remedy for all kinds of complaints, preparing perfumes, and others. In Mariola one can find anything from areas degraded by fires to good examples of potential climacic vegetation: the holm oak grove, and in shady areas, mixed Mediterranean woods, accompanied by kermes oaks, Mediterranean mezereon, junipers, evergreen buckthorn, etc.. Most of the range is however covered with pine trees and thickets with briar, heather, rockrose… and there are also some good examples of edaphic vegetation in the Vinalopó area, and major plant communities associated with springs (such as that of Molí Mató). The “Teixera d’Agres” yew tree grove is a major feature, still containing some extraordinary specimens of this remarkable magic tree.
