Win some, lose some - statutorily strictly protected indigenous plant species in the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science (University of Zagreb, Croatia)

Early in 2013, we made a first report on ex situ conservation of threatened and statutorily protected indigenous plant species, grown in the rockeries dedicated to the plants of Croatian flora, in Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science (University of Zagreb, Croatia)/HZB entry No 673831/. We found 208 threatened, statutorily protected and strictly protected plant taxa, originating from the native Croatian localities. In the meantime, we studied the Garden’s collections and Database more thoroughly, as well as collected new plant material at our field research. Accordingly, our native-originating collections grown to 260 taxa of statutorily protected and strictly protected. However, due to the accession of Croatia to the European Union, part of the vital legislation changed lately in 2013. This time, we report on the progress on collecting and consequences of the implementation of new regulations to our indigenous plants collections. According to the new legislative, in Botanical Garden at this moment grow 109 statutorily strictly protected vascular plant species of Croatian flora (13.6 % of all), 46 taxa from the Red Book of Vascular Flora of Croatia (19.5 % of categories RE, CR, EN and VU), and seven NATURA-2000-species of interest to European Union (38.9 % of all).
