Currently, the summer snowflake is suffering distributional and populational declines across its range, and due to this local scarcity, it is protected by law in several countries within its distribution range. The distribution of this species in the Republic of Moldova is very little studied, and currently this species is classified as critically endangered in the 3rd edition of the national Red Data Book, with only seven known locations. This short communication aims to reveal a new location of the summer snowflake – „Prutul de Jos” Scientific Reserve, increasing the conservation importance of the reserve even more.
