“…These numbers are likely an underestimate, as only for Greece, including Crete and the islands, 5752 species, of which 1278 are endemic to this country, have been reported (Dimopoulos et al 2013). In the western Balkan Peninsula, especially the high mountain system of the Dinarides (Dinaric Mountains) is highly diverse (Horvat et al 1974;Redžić 2011).…”

using flow cytometry, differ. We propose a taxonomic treatment with lectotype designation for both taxa and provide descriptions and an identification key. Last but not least, these cold-adapted species mostly growing on northerly exposed humid screes are highly threatened due to the global warming and should be ranked endangered according to IUCN criteria. Cerastium hekuravense known only from three localities is likely one of the most endangered mountain plant species of the Balkan Peninsula.

As a result of floristic investigations in the Valamara mountain range carried out between 2007 and 2016, 567 taxa belonging to 305 genera and 89 plant families were recorded, of which 307 taxa are reported as new for the area. A phytogeographical analysis showed that the Eurasian chorological type was the most dominant comprising 126 taxa (22.2% of the flora), the second was Balkan with 104 taxa (18.3%). There are 9 endemic and subendemic taxa. Epilobium alsinifolium, Dichoropetalum stridii and Taraxacum pindicum are new for the Albanian flora. Life-form analysis indicates that 56.8% of the species are hemicryptophytes; this high percentage points to the Mediterranean nature of the investigated area. A total of 119 species (20.9 %) are listed as deserving conservation status. Of these, 49 are in the Albanian Red List, 76 species in the IUCN Red List, two in the Habitats Directive, one included in Annex I of the Bern Convention and seven species in Appendix II of CITES.Key words: floristic investigation, biodiversity, phenology, chorology, conservation. IntroductionValamara is a mountain range in south-eastern Albania, located between the districts of Korça, Pogradeci and Gramshi. It has a number of peaks, the highest of which is 'Maja e Valamarës', which reaches 2373 m elevation. The flora of the Valamara Mts is poorly explored and no detailed studies are available. The first floristic records from this region are by Markgraf (1927Markgraf ( , 1931 and Demiri (1959). Sporadic floristic records were later published by Paparisto & Qosja (1976), Gölz & Reinhard (1984), Barina & Pifkó (2008, 2011), Shuka & Tan (2009) and Meyer (2011, and some notes on the vegetation of the area were published by Vangjeli (1983) and Buzo (1990). On the basis of these references and the collections deposited in the Tirana herbarium (TIR, 262 taxa are documented for the Valamara Mts).The geographical location, complex topography, climate characteristics, different rock substrata and soil types and hydrological conditions, are factors contributing to a rich flora and vegetation and make the Valamara Mts unique. In this study we provide a list of the vascular flora together with an analysis of taxonomy, chorology, phenology, life form and conservation status for each species. Study area: geology and climate

SUMMARYThe major problem in seedlings production of jasmin box (Phillyrea latifolia) is the poor and irregular germination due to seed dormancy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate methods of seed pre-treatments to increase germination. The effect of different solutions of KOH and NaOH, wood ash lye, GA 3 and cold or warm stratification on germination were evaluated. Sets of four replicates of 25 seeds were soaked for 24 hours in KOH and NaOH solutions of 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2 %, in wood ash lye solutions of 33, 66, 133, 166, 532 g L -1 and in GA 3 solutions of 250, 500, 1000, 2,000, 3,000 mg L -1 . A control set of seeds was imbibed in water for 48 hours. All sets went through zero, two, four and six months of cold (2-4 °C) or warm (15 °C) stratification. The seeds were incubated in petri dishes filled with moistened sand, at two alternating temperatures (20/15 and 30/20 °C) with a light period of 16 hours. From the results we conclude that: Chemical pre-treatments with KOH and ash lye and warm stratification increased germination to 96 %. Treatment with water and warm stratification also increased germination to 79 %. Treatment with 250 mg L -1 GA 3 and six months warm stratification increased germination to 70 % while higher concentrations had a negative effect. Cold stratification did not break dormancy. Optimum germination temperature in a growth chamber was 15-20 °C, while temperature at 20-30 °C inhibited germination.Key words: dormancy breaking, seed germination, stratification, lye solutions, gibberellic acid. RESUMENUn problema en la producción de plantas de labiérnago (Phillyrea latifolia) es la irregular y baja germinación debido al letargo de las semillas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar tratamientos previos a las semillas para aumentar su capacidad germinativa. Se evaluó el efecto de soluciones de KOH y NaOH (0,2, 0,5, 1 y 2 %), lejía de ceniza de madera (33, 66, 133, 166, 532 g L -1 ) y GA 3 (250, 500, 1.000, 2.000, 3.000 mg L -1 ) y estratificación en frío o en caliente. Conjuntos de cuatro repeticiones de 25 semillas se sumergieron durante 24 horas en las soluciones. Adicionalmente, se aplicó un tratamiento control conjunto de semillas embebidas 48 horas en agua. Todos los conjuntos pasaron por 0, 2, 4 y 6 meses de estratificación en frío (2-4 °C) o temperatura ambiente (15 °C). Las semillas, en placas de Petri con arena húmeda, se incubaron a dos temperaturas alternantes (20/15 y 30/20 °C) con un periodo de luz de 16 horas. Se concluyó que: los tratamientos con KOH y lejía de ceniza de madera y la estratificación cálida aumentaron significativamente la germinación hasta el 96 %. Tratamientos con agua y estratificación caliente también aumentaron la germinación a 79 %. El tratamiento con 250 mg L -1 GA 3 y seis meses estratificación cálida aumentó la germinación hasta el 70 %, pero las concentraciones más altas tuvieron efecto negativo. La temperatura de germinación en la incubadora fue 15-20 °C. La alta temperatura de incubación (20-30 °C) y la estratificación fría (2...
