Abstract

Undertaking systematic research, both broad and narrow, into the flora of Biokovo during recent years, the authors have found, including other vascular plants discovered for the first time here, some localities of the taxon Sternbergia colchiciflora Waldst. and Kit. var. dalmatica Reichenb., previously unknown in the flora of Biokovo.
In the introductory part the authors quote four known localities from the last century: Murvica near Zadar (ALSCHINGER, 1832), between Puntamika and Bokanjac near Zadar (PETTER, 1832:126), Pokrovnik between Šibenik and Drniš (VISIANI, 1842:125), around Rijeka (Leg. Schlosser, J. C., det. Vukotinović, L. F., 1878), and one from the sixties of this century: the island Brač: »Gažul Peak at 700 above sea level, Vidova Gora aprox. 740 above the sea level.« (PAVLETIĆ, Zi., 1964:149).
New localities of findings on Biokovo are at about 1000 m above sea level, although one locality was found even at 400 m above sea level, and some are at the height of 1200 m.
