his paper analyzes the Greek, Balkan, and Sub-Balkan endemic taxa present in the flora of Mount Vermion in order to define the phytogeographical connections between Mt. Vermion and other mountains and areas of Greece and the Balkan Peninsula. The chorological spectrum of the total flora, which consists of 1042 taxa, is also analyzed. Seven taxa are reported from Mt. Vermion for the first time. Compared to other mountains of the same geographical arca (NC), Mt Vermion appears t0 have closer phytogeographical links with Mts Olympus, Vourinos, Pieria, Voras, Vamous and Pinovo in decreasing order of floristic similarity. The analysis of Greek endemic taxa shows that Mt. Vermion has greater phytogeographical connections with Southern Greece. The impact of Balkan elements on Mt. Vermion is significant.
