Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes local Balkan phytonyms used for broom and spread on the territory from the Adriatic coast to Greece. In the past, broom was used for weaving and manufacturing rough textile. One can notice a strong influence of Romance (including Dalmatian) on the Serbo-Croatian plant names for broom (Lat. juncus, Ital. giunco, Venet. zunco). In the northern Albanian dialects, especially in the Albanian-Slavic contact areas, a great role was played by the borrowed Serbo-Croatian word žukа (and probably Venet. zunco as well). South of Northern Albanian Ghegnia – in the middle Gheg and Tosk territories – loan-words from different times can be found: Lat. genista, genesta and Ital. ginestra. Further south, in the Albanian dialects of Labёria, in Greece and Italy (Arbёresh), there is a clear influence from the Greek σπάρτο. The research is based on long-term field observations (the fieldwork was conducted in 2009–2019), as well as on the previously published phytonomastical and ethnological data.
