Abstract

This paper for the first time determines and charts the areal of Kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.) within the area of western part of Pelješac peninsula (west and north from route Orebić – Trpanj). It is known from literature that Kermes oak in Croatia comes on southern sides of Pelješac peninsula, around Orebić, but its areal is not described and shown nowhere in detail. Therefore for the first time we confirm and describe the areal of Kermes oak on western part of Pelješac peninsula, where in clean and mixed habitats comprises the surface of 2.235 ha, constituting community of Kermes oak and Black pine (Fraxino orni – Quercetum cocciferae H-ić 1958).
Kermes oak is protected sort on all natural habitats in Republica of Croatia since 9. 5. 1969.
