SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:

As a result of a field research performed of the vascular flora of the Venetsa Hill (Stolova mountain), which flora falls within the Balkan Foothill floristic region, there were 80 vascular species of 72 genera and 33 families established. Out of these 80 species, 38 were determined to be medicinal plants. Two species have been determined to be with Critical endangered (CR) status: Eranthis bulgaricus Stef. and Galanthus elwesii Hook. f. and one species was determined to be with category Vulnerable (VU): Melica altissima L. There are 10 tertiary relicts: Acer campestre L., A. monspessulanum L., Betula pendula Roth, Carpinus orientalis Mill., Corylus avellana L., Fraxinus ornus L., Syringa vulgaris L., Eranthis bulgaricus Stef., Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe, Populus tremula L. One quaternary relict is Sternbergia colchiciflora Waldst. & Kit.
