... New for the Thracian Lowland. So far, it has been known from a few gatherings in the Danubian Plain, Vitosha region and Rila Mts (Stoyanov & al. 2021). The local population of this species comprised many individuals. ...
... This species has not been reported so far from Eastern Rhodopes (cf. Stoyanov & al. 2021). It was most recently collected from the Valley of River Struma (Kunev 2020a(Kunev , 2021b. ...
... It was reported first for this subregion by Velčev & al. (1962), but was apparently overlooked in the later botanical field guides and keys (cf. Stoyanov & al. 2021). One location with about 50 individuals on an area of 0.5 m 2 were observed in the ditch of a dirt road heading for Gaytaninovo village. ...
... It is a tree and grows primarily in the temperate biome (IPNI 2022). In Bulgaria it is grown as an ornamental plant (Stoyanov et al. 2021). The two specimens of this taxon were recorded from the same site and habitat and here we report Lecanora stenotropa for the first time for Kosovo i.e. ...
... We report a habitat of P. quinquefolia over 1000 m above sea level and the potential danger for its spread in mountainous areas. This is an invasive species for Europe and Bulgaria (Stoyanov et al. 2021), and it originates from North America. In Europe and Bulgaria, it was deliberately introduced as an ornamental plant, from where it spread in nature. ...
This paper presents new records and noteworthy data on the following taxa in SE Eu-rope and adjacent regions: red algae Hildenbrandia rivularis, saprotrophic fungus Cryptomarasmius corbariensis, lichenised fungi Lecanora stenotropa, Micarea misella and Sticta sylvatica, liverworts Fossombronia caespitiformis and Peltolepis quadrata, mosses Dicranoweisia cirrata and Fissidens exilis, horsetail Equisetum × moorei, gymnosperm Juniperus virginiana, monocots Galanthus reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis and Spiranthes spiralis and dicots Linaria pelisseriana, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Pilosella rhodopea and Taraxacum erythrospermum are given within SE Europe and adjacent regions.
... The type subspecies was reported for the flora of Croatia (Nikolić 2005+), Bosnia and Hercegovina (Bjelčić 1983) and Albania (Vangjeli et al. 2000), but it was disputed by Barina et al. (2018). East Mediterranean subspecies (cardunculus) was only mentioned for Bulgaria (Amaral Franco 1976, Stoyanov et al. 2021, Greece (Dimopoulos et al. 2013), Albania (Greuter 2006+) 2 and, without exact localities, for Croatia (Nikolić 2005+). It was also reported for the flora of Sicily (Greuter 2006+). ...
This paper represents the fourth part of the inventory of the flora of Serbia
(Niketić et al. 2018, 2020, 2021), which contains nomenclatural, taxonomic and
floristic notes related to taxa from the Magnoliopsida group. At the same time, this
contribution is the basis for publication of subsequent volumes of the An annotated
checklist of vascular flora of Serbia in order to supplement the data on vascular
plants in our country.
... tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana) is the only representative of the genus in the Bulgarian flora [2,3]. It is a perennial, aromatic plant with a hard stem reaching up to 50 cm in height, branching almost from the base and densely covered with trichomes. ...
Background:
Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana is a perennial, aromatic plant used in traditional folk medicine and cuisine of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. However, scholars have not fully studied the pharmacological potential of the herb, and the scientific data on this plant species are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) obtained from the aerial parts of E. tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana growing wild in Bulgaria and to perform histochemical analysis.
Methods:
A microscopic histochemical analysis and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry were performed.
Results:
The histochemical analysis confirmed the presence of terpenes in the stem and leaf of E. tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana. The phenylpropanoid methyleugenol was identified as the main compound in the EO, representing 48.13% of the total oil composition. There were also found considerable amounts of monoterpene hydrocarbons, representing 41.68% of the total EO. Alpha-phellandrene, o-cymene, and β-phellandrene were the most abundant monoterpene hydrocarbons.
Conclusion:
This is the first histochemical analysis performed on E. tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana. This is the first report of the EO composition from Bulgarian E. tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana, and our results indicate some future possibilities for evaluating of the biological activity of the EO of E. tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana and highlight the potential future use of the EO of this plant species. E. tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana EO possesses a good potential for use as a biopesticide and repellent an environmentally friendly alternative of synthetic pesticides.
It is known that plants from the Carlina genus possessed many biologic activity due to the bioactive compounds. The current study investigates the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant potential of the different vegetal parts of Carlina vulgaris L., Carlina acanthifolia All. and Carlina corymbosa L. The samples (roots and aerial part) were collected from Bulgaria (Golo Bardo and Vlahina mountains). Total phenols, flavonoids, individual phenolic compounds, triterpenes, phytosterols, carlina oxide, fructans, and individual sugars were determined. Antioxidant potential was evaluated using four methods. The highest total phenolic content was found in ethanol extract from C. acantifololia All. roots. Three phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and salicylic acid), three flavonoids (rutin, hesperidin, and quercetin), and triterpenes (lupeol and betulin) were detected in all samples (mainly in roots). However, p-Coumaric acid and ursolic acid were detected only in C. vulgaris, while carlina oxide was found only in C. acantifololia All. roots. The result showed that the roots of C. acanthifolia All. were characterized by appreciable amounts of total fructans (20 g/100 g dry weight), while inulin represented 18-12 g/100 g of dry weight. Sugars were found in all plant materials. The current study provides data about the chemical composition of extracts obtained from three members of the Carlina genus and their use as a source of antioxidants, phenolic compounds, carlina oxide, and inulin-type prebiotics.
Abstract: This is the sixteenth of a series of miscellaneous contributions, by various authors, where hitherto unpublished data relevant to both the Med-Checklist and the Euro+Med (or Sisyphus) projects are presented. This instalment deals with the families Caryophyllaceae, Compositae, Euphorbiaceae, Gramineae, Iridaceae, Leguminosae, Malvaceae, Portulacaceae, Rosaceae, Solanaceae and
Umbelliferae. It includes new country and area records and taxonomic and distributional considerations for taxa in Bromus, Datura, Daucus, Erigeron, Euphorbia, Iris, Minuartia, Paspalum, Portulaca, Sida and Vigna, and a new combination in Prunus.

Opuntia fragilis (Nutt.) Haw. (Cactaceae) is the smallest and most cold-hardy species of genus Opuntia in North America. In Bulgaria it is grown as an ornamental plant, but in 2019 a population of this species was discovered by other researchers in natural habitats in Lozenska Mt (Western Bulgaria) at 630–660 m a.s.l. on an area (extent of occurrence) of ca. 100 m ² . In July 2020, we established a population of this species on the Black Sea coast near the town of Primorsko (Eastern Bulgaria) at 5 m a.s.l. on an area of ca. 300 m ² . The distance between the two populations is 360 km in a straight line and their origins are independent of each other. The two localities of this species are so far the only ones described not only for the territory of Bulgaria, but also for Europe.
Data are given on the conditions characterizing each of the localities. The possible reasons for the appearance in natural habitats of this alien plant species for the Bulgarian flora are considered. The impacts and threats this species may have on biodiversity in natural habitats are indicated. Measures have been proposed to control the populations of the species.
