The publication deals with the results of floristic study in Natura 2000 protected zoneBG0000211 „Tvardishka planina“. The objects of investigation are forest habitats: 9110, 9130, 9150,91G0, 9170, 9530, 9180, 91М0, 91Е0, 91АА. The floristic composition of the habitats, abundance ofeach species by Braun-Blanquet scale and plant relevѐs are presented. The assessment of natureconservation status is made applying the developed methodology under the project “Mapping anddetermining of the natural conservation status of the nature habitats and species – phase I” thatwas adopted by Ministry of Environment and Water. As a result of conducted inventory theconservation status of all habitats was assessed as unfavourable-unsatisfactory.
