Sažetak
This paper made a comparison between the urban flora found in Split and Dubrovnik (Croatia), and Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The urban landscape in these cities is very heterogeneous, both in terms of geography (climate, geology, soil, morphology) and land use. The aim of the paper is to determine the degree of floral similarities, and to analyze city flora in terms of life forms and floral elements. Similarity coefficients (Jaccard index) between the flora found in Split and Dubrovnik, Split and Mostar, and Dubrovnik and Mostar were, respectively, 41.8, 17.9, and 19.0%. Asteraceae and Poaceae were the families characterised by the highest number of taxa at all three cities. Mediterranean floral element dominated (26-34%) in Split and Dubrovnik, while widespread taxa prevailed (22.8%) in Mostar. Therophytes prevailed (36-49%) in Split and Dubrovnik, and hemicriptophytes (44.8%) in Mostar. Most of the adventive taxa were neophytes. The highest percentage (18.7%) of neophytes was recorded in urban flora of Split. Of these neophytes, American taxa dominated in all three cities. Archaeophytes were much less common and were mainly of Asiatic origin. We consider Split and Dubrovnik a typical Mediterranean cities and its urban flora are comparable with those of other Mediterranean cities.
