This study is based on the research of the morphological differences of the buds of the three most widespread species of the genus Acer L. (Aceraceae) in Sharr Mountain, in the Republic of North Macedonia: Acer campestre L., Acer platanoides L., and Acer pseudoplatanus L. This method is based on the position of the buds, their shape, size, color and morphology and is important for the determination of these species, in the period of leaf fall and before their flowering.

New locality of Rosa pimpinellifolia L., (Rosaceae) was found during field research in August 2020. Even after many years of effort and research, Rosa pimpinellifolia L. was found for the first time in mountain ridge located in Jellak- North Macedonia, specifically in the place known as "Maja e zezë -- (Black Peak)", which is located approximately 2000 m above sea level. Until now, it is found in other seven locations in North Macedonia. Taxonomic identification of Rosa pimpinellifolia L fits in the Macedonian Flora specter. New distribution locality and brief morphological descriptions of the Rosa pimpinifolia were provided together with the conservation and status issues. Further field research is needed to confirm the spread of Rosa pimpinellifolia L. across Sharr Mountain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the current knowledge of flora in North Macedonia, Ramonda nathaliae Pančić & Petrović is present in some localities along the mouths of the River Vardar. New localities of spread of this species were discovered several years ago, near the village of Cerovo and in Karpallak. During the ongoing research of Ramonda nathaliae Pančić & Petrović, in North Macedonia, another new locality, was recognized which represents a new record of distribution of this species in the flora of North Macedonia. Examine specimens: on steep rocky terrain: 364 m, 41° 58' N, 21° 11' E, May 2022, in Laskartsi, Municipality of Zelino. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The genus Achillea L. comprises more than 50 species in Europe, with more than 43 species in the Balkans. In Republic of North Macedonia is represented with the 17 species. Most species of genus Achillea L., are beautiful, fragrant and medicinal, therefore it is suitable and interesting to cultivate them in botanic gardens or close to pharmaceutical or medicinal enterprises. In this study the most interesting species are analysed, rare and endemic in the Balkans. One of them is also Achillea clavennae L., which is represented by three varieties: var. argentea, var. intercedens and var. clavennae. Achillea clavennae L., var. clavennae Hayek (Asteraceae) is presented in Albania, Kosovo, Republic of North Macedonia, Slovenia (Martinčič A., Wraber T., Jogan N., Ravnik V., Podobnik A., Turk B., Vreš B., 1999), Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece. From the current knowledge of flora in Macedonia Achillea clavennae L., var. clavennae Hayek (Asteraceae) is presented only in Galičica. Those species are recorded for the first time in Cerovo and were recognized which represents a new locality of distribution of those species in the flora of Republic of North Macedonia.
