The flora of Eastern, South-Eastern and Southern parts of Serbia is one of the richest and the best studied in the country. A large number of newly recorded taxa has been reported from those areas in the last few decades. The currently updated species list indicates that Mediterranean plants s.l. is the most numerous group. This time, Petrorhagia velutina, Umbilicus rupestris, Carthamus dentatus, Carduus pycnocephalus, Hypochaeris cretensis, Scorzonera mollis, Asparagus verticillatus and Valerianella costata recorded in SE and S parts are reported аѕ new species to the flora of Serbia. The phytogeographic importance of the new records is discussed within the scope of their northern distribution limits forming anew in Balkan Peninsula. The estimated threatened status for some of the taxa should present useful information for plant protection management in the region.
