Abstract: Croatia has a long history of bryological research, started in the first decades of the 19th century.
However, the research activities were mostly sporadic and occasional, with only a few comprehensive
works on the subject. After the peak at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century,
a new wave of bryological works in the 1950s and 1960s were mostly focusing on karst rivers. Most
data appeared in Pavletić’s Prodromus (published in 1955) more like a summation of several previous
species lists, containing relatively few new records. With regard to the current situation of
Croatian bryology, renewed field research is urgently needed to assess the real status of the bryophyte
flora of Croatia.Keywords: flora, bryophytes, liverworts, mosses, SE Europe
