A total of 241 taxa of vascular plants (216 species and 25 subspecies) were found. The taxa belonged to 158 genera and 58 families. In the life form spectrum hemicryptophytes were dominant (46.9%). Phytogeographical analysis showed that the most plants belong to the Euroasian floristic element (46.1%), followed by Mediterranean floristic element (23.2%).
