Sažetak
Croatia has a long history of bryological research, started in the first decades of the 19th century. However, the researches activities were mostly sporadic and occasional, with only a few comprehensive works on the subject. After the peak at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, a new wave of bryological works in the 1950’s and 60’s were mostly focusing on karst rivers and with only very scarce data for bryophytes of other habitats. Almost all published data about bryophyte species and their localities were summarised in “Prodromus flore briofita Jugolavije” published 1955. After that very few and sporadic records were published, without any comprehensive species list for any of regions or areas in Croatia. In some new species list dealing with bryophytes of countries in South-Eastern Europe, Croatia is also included and unpublished data from herbarium collection in Natural History Museum in Budapest are added, but still without any new field data. According to this lists Croatian bryoflora counts 474 species of mosses, 153 species of liverworts and two species of hornwotrs. However, renewed filed work started in 2009 and encompassing very limited areas resulted in 30 new species for Croatian bryophyte flora, showing urgent need of further research to assess the real status and richness of the bryophyte flora of Croatia.
