Sažetak
Until recently, the first known floristic records for the Marjan Hill in town of Split dated from the 19th century, reported by R. Visiani and F. Petter. Here we present an even older record, containing 30 plant taxa, dating from the year 1682. The British traveller, botanist and protestant priest Sir George Wheler (1650-1723) published the list of plants in an itinerary named “A Journey into Greece”. An excerpt from Sir Wheler’s account: “Nearer the Town, I clambered up a high Rock, that commands it, to take a prospect of it with my Pencil ; where I began to wish that I had had more skill to have designed one of the most delightful places that I had ever seen...”This itinerary also represents the first record of some endemic plants such as Centaurea ragusina, Aurinia sinuata and Genista sylvestris subsp. dalmatica in Split. Since the descriptions (naming) of species do not belong to Linnaean binomial system, detailed literature analysis of each mentioned plant was needed. Having conducted a field research, we confirm all the species can still be found in the area.
