This paper presents the distribution of the rare plant species Matthiola fruticulosa (L.) Maire in Croatia. During our study, previous records on the Pelješac peninsula were confirmed, and new records were found, extending the Croatian areal to the southern slopes of Svilaja Mt. The species was found to be affiliated with calcareous rocky habitats (screes, rocky pastures and shrublands). Additionally, discrete identification keys were proposed, for the identification of vegetative and flowering as well as fructifying plants. |
