Sempervivum marmoreum Griseb.

Taxonomy: Fam. Crassulaceae// Genus: Sempervivum// Species: Sempervivum marmoreum Griseb.

Determined according to the botanical keys provided by Micevski in Micevski (1998).

Note: The indumentum of leaves, an important taxonomic trait seems to be variable across the native range and therefore variously described by different authors (Favarger and Zésiger in Tutin et al., 1964; Gajić in Josifović, 1972; Micevski in Micevski, 1998). The populations from Osogovo have persistent indumentum of dense, short glandular hairs on both leaf surfaces and longer and thicker marginal cilia, in accordance with the description provided by Micevski in Micevski (1998).

Distribution: Native to Italy, Balkan Peninsula to Slovakia and Ukraine according to The Euro+Med PlantBase (Marhold, 2011+) and the Plants of the World Online portal (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew).

Habitat: Rocky terrains – on rocks in the highest part of the “Ratkova Skala” region bordering with “Visoka chuka” (Ponikva region) at c. 1350 m altitude, growing alongside other succulents (Sempervivum erythraeum, Jovibarba heufelii, Sedum stefco, Sedum anuum).

Lifeform: Perennial succulent; Hemicryptophyte according to the Raunkiær classification.

Flowering period: Summer: JUL.
