Vascular flora of the town of Blagaj (south Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Abstract

The flora of the town of Blagaj was observed and researched during the vegetation seasons from 2004 to 2014. In total, 723 plant taxa from 102 families are presented in the list, 577 of which are newly found, while the presence of 14 previously reported taxa was not confirmed. Alien taxa present exclusively in culture were not analysed in this work. The most common family is Asteraceae s. l. (11.76%), followed by Poaceae (9.82%), Fabaceae (7.75%) and Lamiaceae (6.50%). The predominant life-forms are therophytes and hemicryptophytes with 265 and 264 taxa, respectively (36.65% and 36.51%). The floral elements spectrum shows the strong prevalence of Mediterranean plants (29.46%), while Central European plants are almost absent (0.41%). A total of 38 taxa are found on the National Red List, while 27 taxa are classified as invasive.

“…The taxonomic structure of the urban fl ora of Bijeljina in terms of the percentage of families is similar to the taxonomic structure of Belgrade (Jovanović, 1994), Banja Luka (Topalić-Trivunović, 2005, Blagaj (Maslo & Abadžić, 2015), Mostar (Maslo, 2014) with 43 taxa or 9.73 %, phanerophytes with 36 taxa or 8.14 %, scandetophytes (lianas) with 18 taxa or 4.07 %, hydrophytes with 15 taxa or 3.39 % and hamephytes with 14 taxa or 3.17 %. By comparing the ecological spectrum of the urban fl ora of Bijeljina with other settlements, we can conclude that the greatest similarity is between Bijeljina and Banja Luka.…”

“…3. Families with the largest number of species and subspecies (10 and more) in the urban fl ora of Bijeljina Бања Лука (Topalić-Trivunović, 2005), Београд (Jovanović, 1994) (Jovanović, 1994), Бања Луке (Topalić-Trivunović, 2005, Благаја (Maslo & Abadžić, 2015), Мостара (Maslo, 2014) (Jovanović, 1994), Sarajevo (Tomović-Hadžiavdić & Šoljan, 2006) and Mostar (Maslo, 2014) the genus Chenopodium is much less represented, with only 1 species, which is not related to insuffi cient research of the urban fl ora of Bijeljina or some other factor. Namely, species of the genus Chenopodium are now classifi ed into several genera (Bassia, Chenopodiastrum, Dysphania, Lipandra, Oxybasis) according to the nomenclature of Flora Europaea (http://ww2.bgbm.…”

“…Интензивнија флористичка истраживања урбаних станишта на простору Босне и Херцеговине вршена су у посљедње двије деценије. Свеобухватне анализе постоје за Мостар (Maslo, 2014), Сарајево (Tomović-Hadžiavdić & Šoljan, 2006), Бањалуку (Topalić-Trivunović, 2005), Пале (Petronić, 2006), Благај (Maslo & Abadžić, 2015) и Србац (Ljubojević, 2018). Подручје Семберије и Бијељине такође нема дугу традицију истраживања.…”

“…More intensive fl oristic research of urban habitats in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been conducted for the last two decades. Comprehensive analyzes exist for Mostar (Maslo, 2014), Sarajevo (Tomović-Hadžiavdić & Šoljan 2006), Banja Luka (Topalić-Trivunović, 2005, Pale (Petronić, 2006), Blagaj (Maslo & Abadžić, 2015) and Srbac (Ljubojević, 2018). The area of Semberija and Bijeljina also does not have a long tradition of research.…”
