II. New plant species reporting for the flora of Bulgaria 1. Ornithogalum oreoides Zahar. The species have being reported in Flora

Europaea for N. E. Bulgaria. In Bulgarian botanical references lack data for the exact distribution of the species in the country. Up to this moment there is no data about real presence of the species in the flora of the country: lack of the concrete locality. The considered species has being confirmed for the Bulgarian flora, because it has being collected in South Bulgaria, on the Bessapara hills, Thracian plain. The plant grows upon carbonate soils on limestone terrains, on 350 m s. l.: Alanchal locality, 30.04.2000.

2. Leontodon taraxacoides (Vill.) Merat. subsp. taraxacoides. The species is new for the Bulgarian flora. Up to this moment it has being not reported in the specialized references for the country. The species has being found in the golf of Burgas, near town of Burgas, on 50 m s. l., (collected on 09.08.2000).

3. Campanula persicifolia L. subsp. subpyrenaica (Timb.-Lagr.)Fedorov The subspecies is new for the flora of Bulgaria. It has being found on the carbonate soils, limestone terrains, Glavinishki rid locality, Bessapara hills, Thracian plain, 350 m s. l.

551

(collected on 13.06. 1997). Central Rhodopes (over town of Kritchim, 500 m s. l.) are reported as second locality of this subspecies in the country.

4. Chenopodium ambrosioides L. The distribution of the species has being placed under question on the territory of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (near town of Varna). The same species has not being marked for Bulgaria in Flora Europaea. The species has being confirmed for Bulgaria, but it has being found along the riversides of Vatscha: the Thracian plain (collected on 27.07.2000). The plant grows upon alluvial soils and river sands. The plant inhabits only the riversides of Vatscha.

5. Solidago gigantea Ait. This introductory plant has being marked for Bulgaria in Flora Europaea, but there is no information about concrete localities of the species in the country. The species has being found along the river Vatscha between town of Kritchim and village of Kurtovo Konare in Thracian plain and also near village of Sestrimo together with Impatiens glandulifera also an introductory plant, Western Rhodopes, 500 m s. l., (collected on 26.09.2000).

III. New taxonomic reports for the Balkan flora 1. Cerastium brachypetalum Pers. subsp. tenoreanum (Ser.) Soo. The revision of

the materials from the Herbarium of the Sofia University (SO) and collection of this subspecies in the Tracian plain, near the Vatsha river and the village of Kurtovo Konare, show that C. tenoreanum is characteristic for the Southern part of the Bulgarian flora. The subspecies is new for the region of Western Rhodopi, near the village of Debrastitza. The materials of this species collected by V. Stribrnyi are included in the collection of SO (Herbarium of Sofia University).

2. Plants intermediate between Aremonia agrimonoides (L.)DC. subsp. pouzarri Skalicky and subsp. agrimonoides occur in South Bulgaria. The morphological transience of diagnostical features is very significant. Probably subspecies pouzarii is best regarded as a variety: var. pouzarii (Skalicky) D.Georg. st.n.

3. Campanula persicifolia L. var. subpyrenaica (Timb.-Lagr.) D.Georg. st.n. (C. s. Timb.-Lagr.). The plants similar to var. subpyrenaica with setulose ovary and pedicels 2-10 mm long are distributed on limestone in South Bulgaria - Bessapara hills, near the village of Glavinitza. On the Balkan peninsula var. sessiliflora (C.Koch)D.Georg. st.n. (C.s. C. Koch) is being distributed on the same places as var. subpyrenaica.

4. Lathyrus filiformis (Lam.)Gay from village of Ravnogor is new for the flora of the Balkans. 5. Valerianella pelvica D.

debiliter elevatus. Afiinitas: A specie proxima -Valerianella coronata (L.) DC., morphologia calycis et dentes reducti bene differt.

6. Valerianella pumila (L.)DC. Subsp. Brachystephana (Ten.) D.Georg. st.n. (V.b. Ten.) The subspecies is new for the flora of the Thracian plain. The plant was found southern from town of Stamboliisky.
