Sažetak
During 2004 and 2012 field research into the flora of the five uninhabited islets near Pakoštane, Dalmatia, South Croatia was carried out: Babuljaš, Veliki Školj, St Justina, Mali and Veliki Žavinac. Altogether, 257 vascular flora taxa were recorded. The flora of the islet Veliki Školj had 159 taxa, that of St Justina 118, Veliki Žavinac 115, Mali Žavinac 105 and Babuljaš 95. The largest number of taxa were found in the families Fabaceae (40 taxa ; 15.56%), Poaceae (36 taxa ; 14.00%) and Asteraceae s.l. (31 taxa ; 12.06%). Regarding life forms, therophytes prevailed (49.42%). The chorological spectrum highlights a clear dominance of Mediterranean taxa (50.19%). Their percentage contribution did not significantly differ among the islets (47.62–53.04%). There were four endemic, eight endangered and eight strictly protected plant taxa. No neophytes were found except Conyza sumatrensis which was observed on the islet of St Justina.
