Sažetak
Geobotanical (phytogeographical) features of the evergreen coast belt of Croatia are presented comparatively with special regard to the »southern region« in Horvatic’s terms. This region is in the »Vegetation of Southeastern Europe« (Horvat, Glavac and Ellenberg 1974) together with the »central« and the »northern« regions united in the frames of the Quercion ilicis zone to form an Adriatic subzone, for which, according to this view, the association Orno-Quercetum ilicis H-ić is noted as the zonal vegetation (vegetation climax).
According to the view proposed in the present paper, the »southern« region shows, together with marked geobotanical specific features, very clear phytogeographical links with analogous more eastward regions of Southeastern Europe, a fact that has not been taken adequately into account in phytogeographical zonation so far. The phytogeographical links mentioned are manifest especially in the distribution of a considerable number of eastmediterranean taxa in our region (e.g. Arbutus andrachne, A. X andrachnoides, Erica manipuliflora, Calicotome injesta, Cistus creticus, Phlomis fruticosa and others) as well as in the composition and physiognomy of the vegetation and climatic conditions.
Therefore this region should be defined in the frame of the eumedi- terranean zone as transitional between the Adriatic Orno-Quercetum ilicis and the Aegean-Ionic Andrachno-Quercetum iZicis-subzones. Such zonation, in the author’s opinion, is a much better presentation of the natural ecological and phytogeographical relations of the southern Eume- diterranean coast belt of Croatia.
