Abstract


Based on presence of area types and area groups, the phytogeographical analysis show that Rogozna Mt. is area with eurasian-submediterranean-centraleuropean-pontic characteristics. Eurasian area type is dominant in the flora of Rogozna Mt. Detailed analysis of the Eurasian area type showed a numerous presence of the species with Central European-Mediterranean (73) and Central European-Mediterranean-Pontic (73) types of distribution. The influence of the Mediterranean region is especially pronounced. There are 117 species with Mediterranean-Submediterranean type of distribution, many of which are endemics or subendemics. Typical Pontic elements of flora are present in very low percent (1.27%), but taxa with Mediterranean-Pontic (14.7%) and Central-European-Mediterranean-Pontic (9.38%) are numerous. The presence of an imposing number of endemic taxa (51) has a great significance from the aspect of biodiversity and conservation of the area.
