Abstract
The research of vascular flora was conducted on the part of the southern slope of Ivanščica near the
town of Zlatar in October 2022. A total of 85 taxa of vascular flora belonging to 47 families were
recorded. The most abundant families were Rosaceae, Asteraceae, Aspleniaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae
and Lamiaceae. According to Ellenberg’s indicator values, specific habitat conditions, characterized
by moderately wet and moderately acidic soil with a moderate amount of humus favor the
development of different plant life forms. Out of the total recorded plant taxa, hemicryptophytes make
up 35.7 %, followed by phanerophytes (33.3 %), while therophytes are the least represented with
6.0 %. According to their status in the Red List of Croatian vascular flora, one vulnerable (Taxus
baccata L.) and one nearly threatened (Cyclamen purpurascens Mill.) plant species were found. Two
invasive plant species were also recorded (Robinia pesudoacacia L. and Erigeron annuus (L.) Desf).
The results indicate that the habitats on the southern slopes of Ivanščica are characterized by great
diversity of plant species, therefore further research is necessary for their preservation.
