Sažetak
Island of Hvar is a part of the Central Dalmatian archipelago and is the second largest Dalmatian island. The Kabal peninsula is situated on the very North-West part of the island, embracing the large Bay of Stari Grad. The area of the peninsula is 8.7 km2 and the highest peak reaches 120 meters above sea level. The brown soil developed on the limestone and dolomite is dominant. The peninsula is covered with evergreen vegetation represented by depredated Holm oak forests (macchia, garique) and Aleppo pine forests. Due to progressive vegetation succession present on the peninsula, rocky pastures (Brachypodio ramosae-Trifolietum stellati) are quite rare. In the vicinity of the shoreline, rocky and gravely halophytic vegetation is developed. A floristic survey on the peninsula Kabal was performed in order to estimate the floristic value of the area with the aim of its protection. From 2007 to 2009 in total 275 taxa, belonging to 63 families were recorded. The most abundant families are: Fabaceae (15, 6%), Poaceae (9, 8%), Asteraceae (6, 2%), Cichoriaceae (6, 2%), Lamiaceae (5, 1%), Brassicacae (4, 4 %) and Liliaceae (4, 4%), which is in accordance with families rations of flora of Central and South Dalmation islands. The most abundant genera is Euphorbia with 7 taxa, Trifolium with 6 taxa and Geranium and Medicago with five taxa. Therophytes (38%%) are the most common life form category, followed by hemichryptophytes (29%), which is a reflection of the Mediterranean climate characterized by hot and dry summer period. Chorological analysis of the vegetation showed the dominance of Mediterranean plants. Among the recorded taxa, 14 are listed in The Croatian Red Book of endangered species, one is critically endangered (CR), two are endangered (EN), six are vulnerable (VU), four are near threatened (NT) and one is data deficient species (DD). 29 taxa are protected and 17 are strictly protected by law. There are two groups of plants that are most endangered here: orchid species, suffering the loss of their natural habitat (open grasslands) by process of natural overgrowing after the abandonment of the traditional management and halophytes of sandy and gravelly sea shores, which are rare and threatened by tourism and potential building.
