Abstract
The Flora Croatica (FCD) database records thirty years of continuous work these days. Since the initial limited application, today FCD has been nationally and internationally recognized as the relevant source of verified data on national and regional flora. It is fully web oriented with the strong support of GIS tools in spatial data display and analysis. Users are a wide range of individuals, public institutions, museums, educational system institutions, scientific institutions, and private companies. With numerous interconnected modules, it enables the processing and presentation of various data on flora – taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution, threat status, use, invasiveness, bibliography, collections, etc. Website monitoring indicates great dynamics of data entry, processing, and use, as well as international cooperation. Further development of FCD and application of modern IT tools in the best possible support to all classes of users is expected, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
