Contribution to the knowledge of plant diversity of the planned Regional Park "Hrvatsko zagorje"

In floristic research carried out during the vegetation season 2011, the area of 4 square km between the villages Cerje, Jesenjsko, Šaša, Pašnik, Vrbno and Ježovec was included. So far there was not recorded floristic data for this part of northwest Croatia, which is planned to be included in the future Regional Park „Hrvatsko zagorje“. In total, 392 taxa of vascular plants from 78 families were found. The most abundant families are Asteraceae sensu lato (11.5%), Fabaceae (9.2%), Poaceae (7.7%), Lamiaceae (6.1%) and Rosaceae (5.1%). In the life form spectrum hemicriptophyta are predominant (50.3%) followed by therophyta (16.6%), phanerophyta (14.3%), geophyta (10.7%) and chamaephyta (6.4%). Due to the lack of water bodies, the hydrophyta and helophyta share together less than 2%. Phytogeographical analysis has shown that Euroasian floral element encompasses 32.9% of taxa, followed by Cosmopolites (22.4%), European (11.7%), South-European (11.5%) and Circumholarctic (6.9%). Other floral elements encompass less than 15% of taxa. According to the Red list of vascular plants one taxa is vulnerable, six taxa are near threatened and two taxa are of least concern. Ten taxa are strictly protected and one species Cardamine waldsteinii Dyer is endemic. Alien flora is represented by 27 taxa including 12 invasive plants.
