Gordan Lukač ; Hrvatska

Abstract

The species Anthriscus silvestris is a plant of Croatian lowlands, hills, and mountains. It is best developed on shady and humide ground on the edges of oak-hop hornbeam, mixed beech-fir, pure beech forests and degenerate forests and coppice. It mostly grows on wood paths and along the roads. The new localities in Croatia are in Velebit mountain.
The species Anthriscus nitida is a characteristic plant of mountains in beech forests, and mixed beech-fir forests. At intersections of wood paths and roads it occurs at lower altitudes.
The Illyrian endemic species Anthriscus fumarioides was found in thermophilic beech forests and beech-fir forests alone or with Geranium macrorrhizum in Biokovo, Velebit and Učka mountains.
The species Anthriscus nemorosa was not found, but farther investigations are necessary especially in east part of Slavonia and Baranja.
All species were found on different habitats.
