Galanthus gracilis celak. (Amaryllidaceae) in the flora of Serbia
There are only ambiguous data in literature that suggest the presence of Galanthus gracilis Celak. in the flora of Serbia. Throughout its range G. gracilis is often confused with closely related species G. elwesii Hook., with which it shares several morphological characteristics, and in some cases the same name is erroneously used for both species (G. graecus Orph.). Only about a decade ago, the genus was a subject of taxonomic revision by the English author Aaron P. Davis, whose work eliminated confusion created by the previous conflicting divisions. Therefore, further studies are required to determine the exact distribution of this species. In this paper, we officially report the presence of G. gracilis in Serbia, with a description of its habitat and estimation of the threatened status.
