Floristic investigations on the eastern part of Adriatic coast in
Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina led to the discovery of three glasswort
taxa new for the area: Arthrocaulon
macrostachyum (Moric.) Piirainen et G. Kadereit and Salicornia procumbens Sm. subsp. procumbens and S. perennis
Mill. All three taxa were
recorded in the abandoned basins of Tivat Saline in Montenegro, while S. perennis was also found in the Klek
Peninsula in Bosnia and Hercegovina. According to the IUCN criteria, the status
of the newly reported taxa was classified as “critically endangered” (CR) in
both countries.
