Abstract

Sixteen fern taxa were found in a relatively small area (MTB 9760.4, 9761.3) in the mountain creek valley near the village of Smiljanova Graba at Maceljska Gora mountain (north-western Croatia). Three of these species have rarely been recorded in Croatian Flora: (Dryopteris affinis s. l. (A. Löve) Fraser-Jenkins, Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Tod., Polystichum braunii (Spenn.) Fée). Two species were recorded for the first time in the north-western part of Croatia (Dryopteris dilatata (Hoffm.) A. Gray, Polystichum braunii (Spenn.) Fée) while three taxa were observed for the first time in Croatia (Dryopteris affinis subsp. cambrensis Fraser-Jenkins, D. cristata (L.) A. Gray, and Polystichum x wirtgenii Hahne).
