Abstract
Floristic investigations were carried out on the island of Vis during spring 2004. Two hundred and sixty three vascular plants were recorded, including 23 taxa of Orchidaceae. The island is a new locality for the orchids Cephalanthera longifolia, O.scolopax, Orchis purpurea and Spiranthes spiralis. On the basis of our investigations and the floristic data published so far, there are 27 taxa of orchids on the island of Vis. The distribution of the observed orchids was mapped by GPS. Some nature conservation considerations complete the investigations.
