In this paper we present results of the botanical research performed from October, 2022 to October, 2023 in SNR ?Titelski breg?. The Reserve has been legally protected from 2009 and ever since, active conservation measures, including mowing, grazing and removal of invasive plant species, have been implemented. Titelski breg is an isolated ellipsoid loess hill situated in the northern Serbia, between the Tisa River and several settlements. Flora and vegetation of the hill have been thoroughly studied in the past since 1896, and most of the data were published in the period 1980-1990. Our botanical research was conducted at 11 localities, which were previously prioritized, based on the number of published data on vasular plants and answers given by managers of the Reserve in the questionnaire. The collected plant samples were preserved, identified and stored in the herbarium of the University of Novi Sad (BUNS). After that, data on vascular plants were compared with a database compiled with available and relevant floristic and phytocoenological literature published between 1972 and 2022. As a result, there were 18 new vascular plant species, five new subspecies and one new variety. These results contribute to the general knowledge on their distribution and floristic diversity of Serbia, and are crucial for the evaluation of the protection and management in the Reserve.
