Abstract

Floristic research of the area along the lower course of the Una River was conducted during spring of 2009. The floristic list obtained contains 252 vascular plant taxa, out of which three are considered to be under threat of extinction (endangered Dactylorhiza incarnata (L.) Soó and vulnerable Carex rostrata Stokes ex With. and Alopecurus rendlei Eig), while three are data deficient (Stellaria palustris Retz., Orchis laxiflora Lam. ssp. elegans (Heuff.) Soó and Bromus commutatus Schrad.). In the investigated area 14 invasive alien species were recorded, which mainly spread because traditional agricultural practices had been abandoned.
