Sažetak
In 2015-2017, wild food plants on fourteen of the larger islands in the Croatian Adriatic were investigated. During the project additional ethnobotanical data were also gathered, e.g. about the plants used to flavour traditional alcoholic beverages (TAB). The studied islands were: Brač, Cres, Dugi Otok, Hvar, Korčula, Lastovo, Mljet, Molat, Pag, Pašman, Rab, Šolta, Ugljan, and Vis. Data come from 236 semi-structured interviews. Preliminary results on the basis of 813 citations showed 115 plant species, belonging to 45 families, which are used for TABs. Rosaceae was the most species-rich family (22 species ; 18%), followed by Lamiaceae (21 ; 17%), Asteraceae (12 ; 10%), and Rutaceae (6, 5%). The most frequently- mentioned species for TABs, also with the most widespread uses from the north to the south of the Adriatic, are: Myrtus communis L. (57 citations, 26% of interviews, 12 islands), followed by Salvia officinalis L. (53, 23%, 13 respectively), Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (52, 22% , 13), Arbutus unedo L. (47, 18%, 12), and Ruta graveolens L. (36, 15%, 12). The above-mentioned plants can be, depending on the species or local tradition, 1) distilled into grappa based on Vitis vinifera L. (rakija loza), 2) added after the distillation of grappa (one-species rakija e.g. Ruta, Artemisia absinthium L. (22, 9%, 8 islands), Juglans regia L. (20, 8%, 8), Ceratonia siligua L. (14, 41%, 10), 3) mixed with other plants in rakija travarica (medicinal grappa with more types of plants), 4) used to make a sweet liqueur from fruits e.g. Myrtus, Arbutus, and Salvia, 5) added into mošt (young wine) e.g. Salvia, and Artemisia or 6) some other species can be used as the base for rakija, e.g. Arbutus, Ficus carica L. (21, 9, 9) etc. The above-mentioned TABs are used in everyday life, for instance as beverages or medicines against different illnesses, applied internally or externally.
