Abstract

The paper lists sixteen new neophytes for the flora in Croatia. The grass Setaria parviflora has been naturalized in the [ibenik area (Solaris, Zabla}e) for some time now but the grass Bromus catharticus has been found only recently, in Zadar (Vo{tarnica). Their seed was probably brought in as a seed admixture used to form lawns on public areas. The Senecio angulata species has been recently noticed as a decorative garden plant in the Zadar area and on the island of Rava, where it demonstrates the ability of subspontaneous spread. The remaining species were registered in the cargo port of Ga`enica where they were probably brought in with raw materials shipments, especially of soy-beans and grains: Amaranthus spinosus, Alternanthera caracasana, Commelina benghalensis, Ipomoea coccinea, I. hederacea, I. cordatotriloba, Eleusine coracana, Pennisetum glaucum, Physalis angulata, Senna obtusifolia, Sida rhombifolia, Solanum chenopodioides and Solanum sisymbrifolium.
