The most numerous representatives were from the families Asteraceae (81 taxa), Fabaceae (57), Poaceae (55) and Lamiaceae (47). Hemicryptophytes were the dominant life form (56,6%); in the chorological sense, the most numerous were sub-Central-European (16,3 %) and Euro-Asian species (11,5 %). The following endemic species were recorded: Alyssum markgrafii, Valeriana simplicifolia, Cicerbita pancicii, Lamium bifidum balcanicum, Alyssum corymbosum, Fumana bonapartei, Euphorbia glabriflora, and Potentilla visianii.
