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