Abstract
The flora research in Medvednica Nature Park has shown the presence of four species of the genus Impatiens: Impatiens balfourii Hooker f., I. glandulifera Royle, I. noli-tangere L. and I. parviflora DC. The species I. noli-tangere is the most widespread in the Park, while the other three species are registered for the first time. Distribution mapping was done by using the basic units of the Central European grid for floristic mapping (MTB).

Abstract
According to VISIANI (1826: XVIII–XIX) Cressa cretica was found in the area of Dalmatia around the middle of the 16th century by Luigi Anguillara. Since later explorers of the flora of Dalmatia did not confirm this finding it only has a historical significance. This thermo-cosmopolitan halophilous species from Convolvulaceae family was found in the salt marsh area of Blato by the Solaris hotels near [ibenik in June 1996. Observations that were made in period from 1997 to 2002 show that it is an annual plant with a short life cycle that continues in the summer period when the salt marsh area drains. It grows as a part of halophitic vegetation, mostly with the species Suaeda maritima, Salicornia europaea, Salsola soda, Limonium vulgare subsp. serotinum and Crypsis aculeata. With the exception of the locality of Blato by Solaris, Cressa cretica has not been found on any other locality in the wider area of [ibenik.

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).
