Keywords:
Belassitsa Mt, vascular plants, floraAbstract
As a result of the floristic investigations of Belassitsa Mt carried out between 2011 and 2012, 1515 species belonging to 517 genera and 106 plant families were recorded. The most numerous representatives were from the families Asteraceae (183), Poaceae (121), Fabaceae (113), Lamiaceae (83), Caryophyllaceae (80), Scrophulariaceae (79), Brassicaceae (77). There are 41 Balkan endemic species and 4 Bulgarian endemic species in the flora of investigated area.
