Abstract
The flora of the town of Blagaj was observed and researched during the vegetation seasons from 2004 to 2014. In total, 723 plant taxa from 102 families are presented in the list, 577 of which are newly found, while the presence of 14 previously reported taxa was not confirmed. Alien taxa present exclusively in culture were not analysed in this work. The most common family is Asteraceae s. l. (11.76%), followed by Poaceae (9.82%), Fabaceae (7.75%) and Lamiaceae (6.50%). The predominant life-forms are therophytes and hemicryptophytes with 265 and 264 taxa, respectively (36.65% and 36.51%). The floral elements spectrum shows the strong prevalence of Mediterranean plants (29.46%), while Central European plants are almost absent (0.41%). A total of 38 taxa are found on the National Red List, while 27 taxa are classified as invasive.
