• Resumen

  • Georgia Bulrush, Scirpus georgianus (Cyperaceae), was discovered in July 2017 during fieldwork on the banks of the Velika Ribnica brook near river Krivaja, in the vicinity of Ribnica village near Banovići (Central Bosnia). Georgia Bulrush is native to North America, but it has been introduced in some areas beyond its natural range. This is the first record of this species for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as for the Balkan Peninsula. The paper presents a short morphological description and photographs of the species, based mainly on the collected specimens, and the distribution of the taxon.
