Each plant is first identified with its Latin name, synonyms, family and common name. The small box indicates the plant’s protection status at an international level (left); it’s IUCN caterogy (right) at a global level and in Cyprus (RE, CR, EN, VU and DD), and criteria for the classification; and endemism.

The Greek text presents detailed information on the plant, including: brief description and any relevant taxonomical notes; distribution and habitat in Cyprus; data on plant biology (flowering, fruiting and dispersal period, pollination, germination, physiology, etc.); conservation status and threats; current and proposed protection measures; value and uses. The short English summary emphasises plant distribution, conservation status, habitat (IUCN coding) and threats (IUCN coding). The final section includes the literature soures used for the plant datasheet. Author/authors are credited just below the reference section.

The text is accompanied by a dot map of the plant distribution in Cyprus and by one or more photographs of the plant.
