Sažetak
ABSTRACT Damasonium polyspermum occurs only in the Mediterranean area, and is relatively rare across its whole distributional range. It grows in shallow standing water bodies with significant fluctuations of the water level, and is considered characteristic for Mediterranean temporary ponds, rare and endangered habitats listed on the Habitat Directive. According to IUCN, D. polyspermum is globally vulnerable (VU). In the Red Book of the Vascular Flora of Croatia this species is denoted as data deficient (DD), however, recently some authors have proposed the category endangered (EN). Until now, there were only two known localities of D. polyspermum in Croatia (Jezera on the island Murter, pond Bunari in National Park Krka), both in Northern Dalmatia. In June 2014 we have discovered a new locality of D. polyspermum in the area of Vransko lake in Northern Dalmatia, on two sites where the flood water had been only recently withdrawn. Due to the specific ecological requirements which account for the small number of findings, new locality of D. polyspermum represents a significant contribution to the knowledge on its distribution, which is necessary for the potential management and protection of this species.
