Abstract

Research into the vascular flora of Obonjan, a small island (0,7 km2) of the [ibenik archipelago, was carried out from 2000 to 2003. A total of 230 species and subspecies classified into 163 genera and 53 families were registered. Only three species, Conyza bonariensis, C. canadensis and C. sumatrensis had been found previously while 227 plant taxa are reported in this paper for the first time. The results of the analysis of the flora show that Therophyta (46.96%) are dominant in the flora, as are plants of the Mediterranean floral element (53.04%), indicating the Mediterranean character of the flora of the island.
