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]

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.

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.

In this scientific paper entitled "MONOCOTILEDON SPECIES (MONOCOTILEDONAE) in the Flora of Shara" is provided data on the 3 year scientific research (2013, 2014, and 2015). This scientific research is undertaken for the first time, in particular within the researchers conducted by international and local researchers about the flora of the Shar Mountain. This study will complement research of flora in the Shar Mountain. The study is focusing on more than 20 stations in the Shar Mountain. The collection of scientific material is carried out during the period of vegetation, by preparing herbarium associated with data for landfill, date, biotope, etc. During the study they found about 600 species of plant leaves, within which are collected 21 plant species belonging to the species with one embryonic leaf (monocotiledonae) [Table no. 2]. The Sharr Mountain lies in the southeast-west-southwest direction, and is located in the northwestern part of the Republic of Macedonia. The Sharr Mountain represents the largest mountain massif in Macedonia and lies in the geographical coordinates: between 42o41'43 "and 42o16'34" geographical north latitude and between 20°34'51 "and 21°16'00". The Shar Mountain massif stands for a great variety of habitats, which represent the settlements for about 2,000 plant species, or 2/3 of higher vascular plants in Macedonia. -During this study it was accumulated a rich material, of about 600 copies. From the conducted floristic preliminary analysis it results that the flora of the Sharr Mountain is rich with numerous plant species. The set material consists of 70 families, 216 genuses and 600 plant species. -In The study area (Sharr Mountain) during this research were found 21 plant species belonging to the one core species (monocotiledonae), which comprise 3.3% of the total flora of Shar Mountain and are included in 8 families, 16 genus within 600 species found by us (table no. 2). Their spreading starts from the lower areas of the Shar Mountain ranging from 550 m. altitude up to 2500 m. of higher areas of Shar Mountain. Table no. 2 shows that species with one embryonic leaf (monocotiledonae) are belonging to 8 families, 16 genuses. From 21 plant species with one embryonic leaf (monocotiledone) in the Flora of Shar Mountain some are Mediterranean endemic Illyricum scardica plant species of the Sharr Mountain like: Crocus scardicus kosanini [photo no. 1], Lilium albanicum Griseb [photo no. 2], and Narthecium scardicum Kosanini.
