Abstract

Sporobolus pungens (Schreber) Kunth is rare and endangered psammophytic plant species, with four localities in Croatia known to date, all on the central and south Dalmatian islands. In October 2001 a new locality was found on the island of Mljet, in Blaca Bay seashore sands, as a part of the psammo-halophytic community Echinophoro-Elymetum farcti (Ammophilion).
