Abstract

The orchid counting results are presented for the selected area of the southeastern part of the Medvednica Mt., approximately 20 km from the Croatian capital city Zagreb. During the season of 2013 a detailed field survey has been carried out in which 24 orchid taxa from 11 genera were recorded on 23 selected plots and all observed individual plants were counted. Selected characteristics of grassland and woodland plots are described and the distribution of certain orchid species, the absolute abundances and plot similarities are presented. Observations regarding the status of the habitats, human impact and the presence of other rare and threatened plant species are also given. The results show flora richness that merits special protection.
