The island of Pag is situated between the group of north Dalmatic and a group of Kvarner 
islands, at the turn of submediterranean and eumediterranean climat zone. Vascular rocky 
pastures flora was researched on the island of Pag during in 2005. and 2006. A total of 331 
plant taxa (296 species, 34 subspecies and 1 varietas) were found. The taxa belonged to 201 
genera and 51 families. Floral analysis (Horvatić, 1963) shows that 23 endemic species of 
plants were found. Of this number constituted 15 taxa of the group Illyrian-Adriatic, then 
7 taxa a group of Illyrian-Apenin and 1 taxa from the group of Kvarner-Liburnian endemic 
plants. The diversity of flora including the endemic plants on rocky pastures on the island 
of Pag really depends on the environment in which a large impact has a way of management 
of pasture lands in agriculture.
