Abstract

As a part of the study of Medvednica Nature Park flora, the distribution of the grass taxa has been studied. The floristic mapping resulted in the establishment of 100 grass taxa from 47 genera. The species Brachypodium sylvaticum was found to be the most widespread grass species in the Nature Park area. Twenty one species were recorded in one MTB 1/64 quadrant alone. The data on 31 taxa originate from earlier periods and their occurrence was not confirmed in the recent research. Grasses from Mount Medvednica can be assigned to 10 floral elements. Thirty five grasses which could be defined as ruderal, cultivated or weeds were found in Medvednica Nature Park. According to the Red Book of Vascular Flora of Croatia 14 species are threatened to some degree.
