- Abstract
Saxifraga scardica is an endemic plant occurring in the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula, between Montenegro and Southern Continental Greece. Morphologically, it is most similar to S. marginata, one of the 23 reported Bulgarian Saxifraga species. In Bulgaria, S. marginata is reported as growing on limestone, in the Forebalkan (Western) and Balkan Range (Central) floristic regions. Saxifraga scardica is reported for the first time for the Bulgarian flora. It was found in the Zemen Gorge of River Struma, in the Znepole floristic region. This location is the easternmost part of its distribution range. Under IUCN criteria, the species is classified as 'Endangered'.
