NEW LOCALITY OF SPECIES ROSA PIMPINELLIFOLIA L., IN NORTH MACEDONIA.

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]
