Two new species for the flora of Georgia - Cerastium perfoliatum and Valerianella sclerocarpa are recorded. They were found in the semiarid climate zone (BSxa) on the eastern ending of Iaghluja Ridge in the Rustavi vicinity (Kvemo Kartli region, East Georgia). They grow in the hemixerophytic and xerophytic shrubberies on the dry grey-cinnamonic soils. Coordinates, altitude and a map of the new location of target species are given in the article. The voucher herbarium specimens are housed at the National Herbarium of Georgia (TBI).
