Abstract

Ambrosia trifida L., a plant species native to North America, has been recorded for the first time in the flora of Montenegro. The species was identified in four locations: near the major Montenegrin rivers Morača and Zeta, as well as at Lake Skadar. The aim of this paper is to report A. trifida as a new addition to the Montenegrin flora and to provide data on its main morphological characteristics, distribution, habitat types, and invasive status in Montenegro. Based on field observations, it can be concluded that all four established populations of A. trifida in Montenegro are self-sustaining and, from today's perspective, can be classified as naturalized. However, one population in the Skadar Lake area is particularly well-established and is transitioning to the status of an invasive species.
