The species Echinops banaticus Roch. belongs to east submediterranean floral element (Gajic, M., 1984). It grows on sandy and grassy arid areas, in mixed broadleaved forests, primarily on limestone. There are few taxation data on the range of this plant species and localities in which it was recorded in Serbia (Yugoslavia). The morphological descriptions in our and in foreign floristic literature contain a number of contradictory or incomplete data, which considerably impedes the regular and correct determination and identification of this species. They are important morphological parameters,taxonomically relevant for the correct identification of the species Echinops banaticus Roch. This paper points to the above controversial morphological characters, present the correct description of the plant and the localities where it has so far been found in Serbia (Yugoslavia), according to field research and the inspection of herbarium material.
