Description
Summary:The presence of the least adder’s tongue ( ) in Croatia is sparsely documented in scientific literature, with only a few records to date. After findings from the 19 century, the species was not confirmed in the field for a whole century, and was consequently considered extinct in the Croatian flora. It has been recently confirmed in southern Istria (Croatia), in habitats with moderate anthropogenic impacts.
