Sharr Mountain presents a variety of geological forms, reliefs, rich hydro network, splicing of Continental factors and Mediterranean, creation of microclimates etc. which create conditions for development and housing of a value of a flora for Geno fond, as well as for creating cohabitation of interesting plant communities, and existence of diverse natural habitats. The Massif of Sharr Mountain stands for a great variety of habitats, which represent the settlements for about 2,000 plant species. Or 2/3 of higher plants of Macedonia. In the Massif of Sharr Mountain are about 200 endemic and non-endemic species which make Sharr to stand as an important center of Balkan and European mountain endemism. Sharr Mountain as a result of the great diversity of ecological, geomorphological, hydrologic, conditions, etc. stands out as a country with rich flora. "Flora of Macedonia reports 3250 species, of which about 80% of the species are found in the flora of Sharr Mountain. In this paper are given data of the 4 years study (2013-20116) for "Flora and its values in the Sharr Mountain Massif - Macedonia". The study is undertaken for the first time, in particular within the Flora of Macedonia, which will complement the study of the Flora in Sharr Mountain. The study is focused on 20 stations in the Shar Mountain. The collection of scientific material is made from early spring until late autumn of this year. During this study it was accumulated a rich material of flora associated with data about the site it was found, the time of collection, habitat, etc. From the systematic-ecological evaluation of the flora of Sharr Mountain turns out that the flora of this mountain massif is rich with numerous species. The set material consists of 94 families, 411 genus and about 1045 species. The analysis so far shows that the flora of Sharr Mountain massif represents a major scientific value of floristic composition, chorological, bio forms, endemic species, endangered relicts and economically valuable species.
