Résumé :	The vernal pools, which existing in all global areas with a Mediterranean-type climate, constitute a very special biotope with a rich and distinct flora where Pteridophytae and especially Isoetes play an important role. Many of them are actually in very endangered situation, and half of the component species are rare, vulnerable or threatened, as a result of intensification or modification of human activities. Although they are well developed in the western part of Mediterranean, the vernal pools in the eastern part are scattered with a less diversified flora.
