Abstract

This paper gives the floristic composition of a therophytic plant association, developed on the island of Hvar in Croatia, earlier discovered and studied in the region of Madrid by a Spanish botanist, Jesús Izco, under the name of Saxifrago tridactyliti – Hornungietum petreae. Although occupying small areas, primarily on old heaps of rejected stone of gravel size covered by leached and decalcified soil, it can nevertheless be considered important since in the vegetation cover of Croatia it contributes to the increase of biological diversity.
