Abstract
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.
Highlights
In literature (Davis 1999), it was observed that G. gracilis is usually a plant of mountainous habitats, favoring open situations, edge of forests and clearings

Summary Оccurence of Galanthus graecus Orph. in the flora of Serbia has been recorded in literature by several authors (Hayek 1933, Delipavlow & Angeliew 1970, Petković et al 1982); due to different approaches and difficulties in the classification of the genus, and owing to the ВРСТА GALANTHUS GRACILIS ČELAK. (AMARYLLIDACEAE) У ФЛОРИ СРБИЈЕ ambiguous use of the taxon, it was uncertain whether it represented G. elwesii Hook. or G. gracilis Čelak. was present
Summary
Станишта врсте G. gracilis на простору Сићевачке клисуре налазе се у зони термофилних и термо-мезофилних листопадних шума. To су шуме мешовитог састава из свезе Syringo-Carpinion orientalis Jakucs. Свој оптимум има у оквиру различитих, у већој или мањој мери, деградираних облика шумске фитоценозе Carpino orientalis – Quercetum mixtum Mis., формиране у кречњачким вртачама и увалама. Где се, у густом склопу дрвећа и жбунастих врста, као најзначајније јављају: медунац (Quercus pubescens Willd.), грабић (Carpinus orientalis Mill.), маклен (Acer intermedium Panč.), јоргован (Syringa vulgaris L.), дрен (Cornus mas L.) и франгула (Frangula rupestris (Scop.) Schur.). Спрат зељастих биљака је у флористичком смислу изразито разноврстан, где се, заједно са G. gracilis, појављује читав низ врста, као што су: Corydalis cava subsp. Gay. G. gracilis се на станишту у Сићевачкој клисури, у мањој бројности или у виду појединачних примерака, појављује и ван описане шумске заједнице. G. gracilis се јавља у травној вегетацији, развијеној на станишту девастиране шумске вегетације
