Endemic species of the Genus Iris L. (Iridaceae) in Croatia

We have defined the identity and distribution of endemic species of the genus Iris L. in Croatia. By the methods of comparative taxonomy of living plants from the whole Croatia, herbarium specimens (from the collections ZA, ZAHO, LJU, WU, W, BP, BU and PAD), by field-work research and analysis of the numerous literature data we have established that in Croatia five endemic species of the genus Iris exist: I. adriatica Trinajstić ex Mitić, I. croatica I. Horvat et M. Horvat, I. illyrica Tomm., I. pseudopallida Trinajstić and I. rotschildii Degen. I adriatica and I. rotschildii are stenoendems and the others are subendems. The results concerning the revision of the nomenclature, taxonomic problems and the chorology of Croatian endemic irises are presented.
