Distribution

The plant is found in several of the mountains of southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, [3] Montenegro, [4] Kosovo (the Prokletije mountain range), [5] northernmost Greece, eastern and northern Albania, the west and north of the Republic of Northern Macedonia, [3] and western Bulgaria (at elevations of 1000–1800 m in central and western Stara Planina, Vitosha Kraishte, Osogovo, Rila, Pirin and the western Rhodopes). [2] [6] Within Italy, it grows in scattered localities in the central and southern Apennines: in the Umbria-Marche Apennines  [ it ], in Abruzzo, the Alburni in Campania, near Monte Arioso in Basilicata, and on La Sila in Calabria. [7]

Hybrids

The hybrid Geum molle × Geum rivale , sometimes known as Geum pseudomollePant., is found in eastern Montenegro's Crna Planina, [4] western Bulgaria's Vitosha, [2] and probably elsewhere. Geum molle × Geum coccineum has been noted in Vitosha. [2]

Flora of Italy

The flora of Italy was traditionally estimated to comprise about 5,500 vascular plant species. However, as of 2019, 7,672 species are recorded in the second edition of the flora of Italy and in its digital archives Digital flora of Italy.
