Abstract
Vascular pasture flora was investigated at localities of 6 family-owned farms that raise sheep, situated from south to north of the Istrian Peninsula, Croatia. During the research in 2003, a total of 291 plant taxa (268 species and 23 subspecies) were found. The taxa belonged to 182 genera and 44 families. The most dominant families are: Compositae (14.78%) and Gramineae (14.78%), followed by Leguminosae (11.34%) and Labiatae (9.97%). According to analysis of life forms, the most numerous are Hemicryptophyta (49.83%) and Therophyta (27.15%).
