Sažetak
The islet of Vrnik with surface area of 0.28 km2 and coastline length of 2, 300 m, is a part of the Pelješac Archipelago situated in channel between the Pelješac peninsula and island of Korčula in southern Croatia. The islet of Vrnik is the second largest in the whole archipelago composed of 19 islets and five rocks. It has a maximum altitude of 50 m a.s.l. The islet is not inhabited but it is much popular as tourist destination in the summer time having a population in excess of about 200 people in a very small settlement. The aim of this study was to present preliminary results of investigations on the vegetation of the islet of Vrnik. Generally, all islets are still completely botanically unknown, and only one floristic study has been made in the archipelago. The research was carried out during 2014 using the Braun-Blanquet approach. In total, eight associations and one community were determined within six vegetation classes: Posidonietum oceanicae Funk 1927 (Posidonietea), Limonietum anfracti Ilijanić & Hećimović 1982 (Crithmo-Limonietea), Asplenio-Umbilicetum horizontalis (Horvatić 1963) Trinajstić 2002 (Parietarietea judaicae), Myrto communis-Pistacietum lentisci (Molinier 1954) Rivas-Martínez 1975, Pistacio lentisci-Pinetum halepensis De Marco, Veri & Caneva 1984, Querco ilicis-Pinetum halepnsis Loisel 1971 (Quercetea ilicis), Erico manipuliflorae-Cistetum cretici Horvatić 1958 (Erico-Cistetea), community with Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum and Hordeetum leporini Braun-Blanquet 1936 (Stellarietea mediae).
