2012
Milanović, Đ., Faculty of Forestry, Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
The species Liparis loeselii (L.) Rich. is a very rare declining species throughout its distribution. In the Balkan Peninsula it has the status of a regionally extinct species, with its latest record in Tundzha Hilly Country in Bulgaria from 1995. During our latest investigations in Livanjsko polje (Bosnia and Herzegovina) this orchid was rediscovered in a numerous population in a small surface area. The nearest certain localities are located in Slovenia, ca. 255 km to the northwest of the new locality. The new status of this endangered species in Bosnia and Herzegovina as Critically Endangered species (CR) is proposed.
