Abstract

The species Matteuccia struthiopteris Tod. (Athyriaceae) was noted in Croatia (in the Gorski kotar region) as early as in the previous century (1869). Some authors, however, considered its presence in Croatian flora doubtful. Since 1966, when it was noted in Hrvatsko zagorje (NW Croatia) with certainty, this species has been found in over ten other localities, mostly in Gorski kotar (SW Croatia).
In this paper, in addition to data published already, the authors present a list of new, as yet unpublished localities of the species M. struthiopteris, as well as its distribution and ecological relationships in Croatia. Also, a map of its range in Europe is included, showing the Croatian localities on its southern border.
