Endemic species

One of the local botanists that researched Biokovo and its flora in details and who presented the endemic species to the public, monk Jure Radić, in his book ‘Biokovo plants’ introduced the following list of endemic species: biokovsko zvonce, suličasta zečina (and her subspecies biokovska zečina), makranska zečina, slava klisura, biokovska visika, primorska visika, biokovska oštrika, biokovska runjika, burina žukica, and zidna zvončica.

Almost all of the endemic species can be found on the costal side of the mountain, especially on the rocks and steep slopes between Topić and Koština, and in between Podgora and Drašnice, starting from the former settlements until the mountain tops.
