The island abounds in plant species. So far, a total of 485 plant species have been recorded in the terrestrial flora of Bi\u0161evo island. The island boasts 43 plant species that belong to various categories of endangered species, 88 protected plant species and seven endemic species. On the sandy substrate of the central part of the island characteristic vegetation of sandy soils developed, comprising the woodruff (Asperula staliana<\/em> Vis. subsp. arenaria<\/em> Korica) as a stenoendemic species that can be found only on Bi\u0161evo island. There are three stenoendemic species at the cape Gatula: the woodruff (Asperula staliana<\/em> Vis.), the Dubrovnik cornflower (Centaurea ragusina<\/em> L.) and the common sea lavender (Limonium busianum<\/em> Bogdanovi\u0107 et Brullo). In 2019, the rock rose (Helianthemum jonium<\/em> Lacaita et Grosser ex Fiori et B\u00e9g.) was discovered in the vicinity of Salbunara and Polje settlements. Tommasini’s Ophrys (Ophrys tommasinii<\/em> Vis.) is one of the two new orchid species in the Bi\u0161evo flora, growing in the wider Stra\u017ebenica area. Another endemic plant, the Dalmatian chrysanthemum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium<\/em> Trevir. Sch.Bip.), can be found on the dry grasslands and thickets. The vegetation of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis<\/em> L.) and the Mediterranean Heather (Erica multiflora<\/em> L.) is especially important for the island, accompanied by the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo<\/em>) bushes, interesting as they simultaneously bear flowers and fruits. Its fruits are edible, thus the name strawberry tree. After the 2003 wildfire, the most widespread trees are those of the Aleppo pine, the pioneering species of the forest ecosystem.<\/p>\n
