The flora of Pori includes 98 species of vascular plants. Almost 70% of the species have their spatial distribution in the Mediterranean region, the three species Filago cretensis subsp. cretensis , Salsola aegaea and Arenaria aegaea are endemic to the Aegean Sea . In the south-south-east part in a few places also in the west-south-west part of the island the tree spurge ( Euphorbia dendroides ) forms the main vegetation. Sometimes there are pure stands, the height of which is a maximum of one meter. Combinations of mastic ( Pistacia lentiscus ), wild olive tree ( Olea europaea var. Sylvestris ) or Phoenician juniper ( Juniperus phoenicea ) with whorled heather ( Erica manipuliflora ), hairy bristle ( Calicotome villosa ) and Cretan smut herb ( Phlica cretica ) are widespread .
