Yulian A. Marinov, Stoyan Stoyanov

• Dorycnium haussknechtii, so far known for S Turkey (Anatolia) and NW Syria, is reported for the first time for the Balkan and European flora. The species was discovered in a single locality in the southernmost part of Mt Sakar, between Sladun and Varnik villages (SE Bulgaria, Svilengrad district). The article presents data on the morphology, distribution, habitat and population of this species. Since there has been no holotype assigned to D. haussknechtii, a lectotype is designated here. An updated dichotomous key to the Bulgarian representatives of the genus Dorycnium is also provided.
