Abstract

A population of Reseda inodora Rchb. was found in Bansko brdo (Baranya, Croatia), in April 2007. This Pontic-Pannonian species was not previously included in the recent Croatian botanical database. The chorology of R. inodora seems to be important, because this
finding is on the western border of the species area. Considering the low number of individuals and small extension of occurrence, R. inodora should be treated as a critically endangered species in Croatia. A phytocoenological relevé taken on its habitat, a short morphological description of R. inodora and a new key of Reseda L. species of Croatia are presented.
