This paper presents the initial results of assessing the threatened status at the national level for several rare and endemic plants from Galichica National Park in North Macedonia: Dianthus galicicae Micevski, Centaurea galicicae Micevski, Centaurea soskae Košanin, Rindera graeca (DC.) Boiss. & Heldr. and Helichrysum zivojinii Černjavski & Soška. The threatened status and criteria were proposed according to the latest IUCN methodology guidelines. By applying the parameters set by this methodology, it was determined that Dianthus galicicae is Critically Endangered (CR), while Centaurea galicicae, Centaurea soskae, Rindera graeca, and Helichrysum zivojinii are Endangered (EN), according to various criteria that will be detailed in this paper.
