Abstract

Floristic researches of the 14 islets and reefs near Vrgada Island (Zadar archipelago, eastern Adriatic) were conducted in the period from 2009 and the spring of 2010. For the 13 islets and reefs, 264 vascular plant taxa were recorded and classified in 184 genera and 63 families. No taxa were recorded for one reef. The domination of therophytes (42.42 %) and plants of the Mediterranean floral element (49.62 %) confirmed the Mediterranean character of the islets’ flora.
