This phrase comes from a report on biodiversity in Costa Rica.
CONTEXT: "La información acumulada sobre la diversidad de la flora del país llevó a que el Xxxxxxx propusiera un sistema de clasificación ecológica basado en plantas (unidades fitogeográficas). Este sirvió como el sistema de clasificación de ecosistemas que se utilizaría para determinar la representatividad del sistema nacional de áreas protegidas."

(phytogeographical/geobotanical) (operational units/floristic units)
This is the actual nomenclature
phytogeography is used more in Spanish while geobotany is the preferred term in English
This units are not formed by one single specie or genus (particularly in the rainforest!!) they are functional units where certain species coexist.
In English I have always managed Geobotanical (operational) units or Geobotanical floristic units
