| Description | Seven vascular plant species have been recently recorded or re-identified as new for the Bulgarian territory, namely Carex hartmanii, C. lasiocarpa, Equisetum x moorei, Gymnadenia densiflora, Molinia horanzskyi, Montia hallii and Sesleria uliginosa. New recent regional records and habitat characteristics of another 18 rare and endangered species (e.g. Carex buxbaumii s.str., C. elata, C. lepidocarpa, C. punctata, Eriophorum gracile) are also presented. In most cases the taxonomic and phytogeographical background is outlined. Detailed research of the Bulgarian mountain wetlands has shown that these habitats are still not sufficiently known. Several of the new records represent the southeastern limits of some rare relic species in Europe. |
