New records for Albania based on taxa from the Prespa National Park.
Twelve taxa are enumerated as new and three taxa confirmed for the flora of Albania. They were collected between 2007 and 2012 in the Prespa National Park of Albania which is part of the Prespa International Park, a biological protected area at the borders with F.Y.R. Macedonia and Greece. Four taxa, viz., Centaureagalicicae, Festucagalicicae, Laserpitiumochridanum and Micromeriacristatasubsp.kosaninii are restricted to Dry and Galičica Mountains. Centaureadecora, a recently described species, is treated as a synonym of Centaureasoskae thus extending the known localities of the latter to the southeast. Detailed information on distribution, occurrence and habitats in Albania are provided for each taxon.
