Forms of Ilex aquifolium L., f. bacciflava Rehd. and Sambucus nigra L., f. laciniata (Miller) DC. were registered in the field (Photo 1 B, 2). Based on the literature these forms were unknown in the autochthonous flora of Bosnia-Herzegovina (Beck, G. 1921; Beck, Maly & Bjelčić, 1974, 1983; Fukarek, 1959). This means that our spontaneous dendroflora is richer for two taksons in the range of forms what is important for forest biodiversity.
These forms are ornamental, known as cultivates (Kruessmann, 1962), and therefore they are of interest in gardening.
Special interest for flora of Bosnia-Herzegovina is a new taxon of our wellknown perenes growing in the mesofill forests of Fagetalia Pawl. Besides a dominant typical form (f. glutinosa), it was found and shortly described a new taxon: Salvia glutinosa L. f. sagittifolia Šilić, f. nov. (Photo 3, 4, 5 B). This new taxon may be also grown along a rocky sites, i.e. it may be used as cultivate and successfully vegetatively propagate (by means of cuttings and separating clusters). New genetic forms may be produced if hybridization with typical biotypes is carried out.
It is considered that all these forms are result of generative mutation from early phase of their development and that are not common in nature.
