Abstract

The presence of Viola collina in Croatia was previously not ascertained, but in 2008 it was discovered in three regions of Croatia: the Samobor, Papuk and Kalnik mountains. The Croatian localities of V. collina are briefly characterized. Habitat preference of the species is discussed with emphasis on the analogy revealed between Hungarian and Croatian V. collina habitats.
