Abstract

Because of its characteristic position between the South-east Alps and the North-west part of the Dinaric Mountains, Samoborsko gorje presents phytogeographically a bridge between the Alps and the Dinarids. For this reason we can find here Illyric-Dinaric, West-European, Balkan -Apennine and Pannonian species. A certain number of species are endemic to Samoborsko gorje, and a very significant number of species has their solitary localities in Samoborsko gorje isolated from the main part of the area. A separate, very well represented group of relicts consists of species designated as Illyricoid elements.
All these elements in Samoborsko gorje grow close to one another, and they give this territory a specific phytogeographical feature - that of an important refuge, owing in the first place to the dolomite as the lithological ground.
