Albania shows a considerable floristic richness with some 3250 native vascular and about 2400 nonvascular plant species. The Mediterranean and Balkan elements predominate in its vascular flora. Several species of Central Europe of Mediterranean origin have their distribution limit in Albania, giving the country a special phytogeographic interest. About 25 species are endemic for Albania. The vegetation of the country is mainly composed of Mediterranean shrub, oak woodlands, beech forests and Mediterranean fir or mountain pine
