The vegetation of seasonally flooded savannas in the tropical lowland of the Departamento La Paz, northern Bolivia, was studied. A first collection of vascular plants in this area includes about 600 species, at least three of which are new to the Bolivian flora and four are new to science. The eight major vegetation types distinguished within the savannas are dry bunchgrass savanna ("altura"), seasonally flooded bunch-grass community ("sartenejal"), palm swamp ("palmar"), two types of river floodplains ("bajios"), a tall shrub community ("chaparral"), the vegetation of termite mounds, and gallery forest. The study area is among the least known in Bolivia. There is a strong need for further studies of these savannas.
