Abstract
Velebit clover, Trifolium velebiticum was described by Degen and till recently, only three localities in Croatia and one locality in Slovenia have been published, suggesting that this endemic plant of western Croatia and southern Slovenia is very rare. Recent, more detailed surveys, showed that the plant is rather abundant in Croatia, and many new localities have been detected. Single localities have been noted in the paper, accompanied by short habitat descriptions. Based on our observations Trifolium velebiticum grows at very different altitudes, in different habitat types, while optimally and the most abundantly on the temporarily flooded grasslands of poljes.
