Abstract
In this paper, the species Carex randalpina is confirmed for the flora of Croatia. It was found in 2006, 2007 and 2008, in northwest Croatia, at four localities in the Krapina river valley (Bedekovčina, Kupljenovo, Luka, Pojatno – Novi Dvori). The species grows in dense stands which are, in this paper, described as the association Filipendulo ulmariae-Caricetum randalpinae ass. nov. hoc loco. The association belongs to marshland vegetation of the class Phragmito-Magnocaricetea. It develops in shallow depressions of the terrain, in moist habitats. The association is recorded in this paper for the first time in Croatia.
