Abstract

This study is based on the research of the morphological differences of the buds of the three most widespread species of the genus Acer L. (Aceraceae) in Sharr Mountain, in the Republic of North Macedonia: Acer campestre L., Acer platanoides L., and Acer pseudoplatanus L. This method is based on the position of the buds, their shape, size, color and morphology and is important for the determination of these species, in the period of leaf fall and before their flowering.
