Based on the international criterion IUCN-WMC, the territory of Serbia, together with the mountainous regions of Bulgaria, is one of 6 European centres of biological diversity, i.e. one of 158 world centres. The region of Serbia is characterized by the abundance, heterogeneity and diversity of plant species, because its flora consists of about 4182 plant taxa (Stevanovic, 1995). Among them medicinal plant species are also much spread. The quality of medicinal plant active substances is the most important factor for their harvesting and usage, especially for that grown on serpentine parent rock. A comparative investigation of medicinal plant species floristic structure, ecological indexes and chemical characteristics was carried out in three serpentine localities in Serbia: Mt. Kosmaj (meadow association Festucetum vallesiacae), Mt. Divcibare (meadow associations Nardetum strictae and Poa molinieri-Plantaginetum holostei) and Mt. Goc (endemic community Helleboro serbica-Danthonietum calycinae). The aim of these investigations was to define the possible limiting and hazardous factors, for the development and exploitation of medicinal plants. Summarizing of gathered results allows identification of medicinal plants, which could be collected on these localities.
