Paleogene flora of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina

E. Jungwirth

Abstract

Localities with Paleogene flora are situated in the NE and Central Slovenia, Istria and Central Dalmatia (Croatia) and SW Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Taxa are arranged in 87 families, 214 genera and 496 different species. Without doubt the composition of the paleo-phytoassociations indicates the paleotropic character of the determined flora (tropical-sub-tropical elements, holarctic elements, cosmopolitan and southern hemisphere elements). It was possible to position each locality in an adequate floristic complex: the localities Raša (Istria), Mt. Promina (Dalmatia) and those in the Herzegovina are situated in the Mediterranean Tethys bioprovince – Raša, Mt., Promina NW Herzegovina = Montebolca flororistic complex; Mt. Promina and NW Herzegovina also = Célas floristic complex. The locality Socka, and localities situated in the Sava folds are a part of the trans-European Paratethys bioprovince – Socka = Lábatlan floristic complex; Sava folds (Zagorje, Trbovlje, Novi Dol) = Kiscell floristic complex.
