Sažetak
The results of floristic research of the National Park "Paklenica" carried out in the period 1999-2003 are presented. The NP "Paklenica" located in the South part of the Velebit Mt. (Croatia: N Dalmatia) comprises the canyons ot two rivulets transversally cut in the mountain with surrounding and high mountain area. The National Park was proclaimed in 1949 with total area of 36 km2, whilw in 1997 it was widen on 107 km2. Generally, the area belongs to the sub-Mediterranean climatic zone, but as a result of complex relief with wide range of altitudes (20-1757 m a.s.), expositions and inclinations the microclimatic diversity is high. Consequently, the diversity of vegetation is also high. Centuries long human impact has resulted in formation of new habitat types: pastures meadows, fields, orchards, gardens and forest degradation stages which also are floristically very rich. During the research period the 809 taxa of vascular plants from 86 families has been found. The most abundant families are Compositae s.l. (Asteraceae and Cichoriaceae) represented with 13, 8%, Poaceae (7, 4%), Fabaceae (6, 6%), Lamiaceae (5, 8%), Rosaceae (5, 3%), Caryophyllaceae (5, 2%) and Campanulaceae (2, 1%), while 79 taxa (9, 77%) of the total flora can be considered as endemics. Since the portion of endemic taxa in the whole Croatian flora is 6, 04% the area of the Paklenica can be considered as one of plant diversity centres in Croatia.
