Summary

Th is research was conducted in the South-Western part of the National park “Northern Velebit” and the coastal slopes along the border of the park (33.75 km2) during the vegetation season 2006. A total of 241 taxa of vascular (216 species and 25 subspecies) were found. Th e taxa belonged to 158 genera and 58 families. In the life form spectrum hemicryptophytes were dominant (46.9%). Phytogeographical analysis showed that the most plants belong to the Euroasian fl oristic element (46.1%), followed by Mediterranean fl oristic element (23.2%). Out of the total number of the identifi ed taxa, there were 13 endangered and three endemic taxa.

therophytes (10.0%), which is still quite high (Fig. 3). Domination of hemicryptophytes corresponds to the climate of the resear- ched area – moderate climatic zone (Pavletić, 1979). In the research area of the National park “Northern Velebit”, we determined 13 taxa (5.4%) included in the Red Book of the Vascular Flora of Croatia (Tab. 1). Th e endangered taxa (EN) Dactylorhiza incarnata were found at one locality only, while it had been quoted previously in Croatia by: Degen (1936-1938), Schlosser & Vukotinović (1869), as well as Vrbek & Fiedler (1998). Furthermore, our study contains fi ve vulnerable taxa (VU) (Tab. 1). Th e vulnerable taxa Fritillaria messanensis subsp. gracilis were also found, and it had been quoted previously by: Degen (1936- 1938), Forenbacher (1990), Kamenjarin (1996), Kranjčev (1997), Kušan (1969), Radić (1976), Rossi (1924, 1930), Šilić (1984), Šolić (1983) and Trinajstić (1970, 1985). We also established the presence of the following endemic taxa: Aurinia sinuata, Iris illyrica and alliacea.

Most of the 58 families belong to angiosperms (51 dicots, four monocots), followed by two gymnosperm families and one fern family. Geophyta Th e most dominant families are Fabaceae with 33 taxa, 12.4% Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae with 18 taxa, Poaceae and Liliaceae with 12 taxa, with 10, and Apiaceae and Phanerophyta Ranunculaceae with nine taxa each.
