Abstract
In this study, we present the first confirmed record of Fritillaria macedonica in Greece, found c. 200 km SE from its nearest known locality in the Balkans. Data concerning the distribution, the habitat preferences, as well as its population size were recorded, whereas this information have been used to determine its threat category. According to the IUCN criteria and based on the restricted distribution area and the small number of individuals, F. macedonica has been classified as Vulnerable (VU) at a national level.
