Abstract

This research was conducted in the South-Western part of the National park “Northern Velebit” and the coastal slopes along the border of the park (33.75 km2) during the vegetation season 2006. A total of 241 taxa of vascular plants (216 species and 25 subspecies) were found. The taxa belonged to 158 genera and 58 families. In the life form spectrum hemicryptophytes were dominant (46.9%). Phytogeographical analysis showed that the most plants belong to the Euroasian floristic element (46.1%), followed by Mediterranean floristic element (23.2%). Out of the total number of the identified taxa, there were 13 endangered and three endemic taxa.
