Heliosperma oliverae Niketić & Stevanović is described from Mt. Prokletije in south‐west Serbia and north‐east Montenegro, together with an estimation of its ecological preferences and International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) threat status. A map and illustration are provided. It is compared with seven closely related Balkan endemic taxa: H. macranthum Panc̆ić, H. retzdorffianum K. Malý, H. tommasinii Vis., H. insulare Trinajstić, H. chromodontum (Boiss. & Reuter) Juratzka, H. intonsum (Greuter & Melzh.) Niketić & Stevanović, and H. nikolicii (Seliger & T. Wraber) Niketić & Stevanović. An amended key to species and a table showing differences from the related Balkan taxa are also provided. © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2007, 154 , 55–63.
