Abstract

The species P. angustifolia L. was found on the locality of Bregi in the middle part of Istria (West Croatia, Yugoslavia) and it was up to now dubious for the flora of Yugoslavia. According to earlier floristic data (Visiani 1847, Alschinger 1832, Schlosser and Vukotinovic 1869, Paulin 1901, Hirc 1906, Rossi 1930, Hayek 1931, E. Mayer 1952) this species should be growing also in the interior of Yugoslavia, but according to recent views (Merxiiller and Sauer 1972, Merxmiiller 1970, T. Wraber 1971) these data must refer to the Illyrian endemic plant P. visianii Degen et Lengyel (cf. Degen 1937).
An analysis, by means of a comparative-morphologic method, of the plants from the locality of Bregi has established that the ground-floor summer leaves are beneath only with equal long setae, without short piles and without glandular hairs. These leaves are 22—27 cm long and 2.4—4.3 cm wide, the index between length and width is (6.2) 9.1—10.2, which completely satisfies the diagnostic propositions of P. angustifolia (cf. Merxmiiller and Sauer 1972, Sauer 1975, Sauer and Gruber 1979).
From the point of view plant-sociology, P. angustifolia is one of the rather characteristic species of the Continental-Europaean complex »Polentilla alba — Quercus petraea — Q. pubescens«, and one member this complex, Potentillo albae-Quercetum pubescentis, was found just on the locality of Bregi (cf. Trinajstić 1982).
The soil, where P. angustifolia grows, is heavily clayey (Sauer 1975a) and in Istria it is brown soil developed on relict pseudogley (Martinović 1975).
