Querries in Smerovi??e (Zagreb County, Croatia) - where Buddleja davidii Franch. went wildKeywords: alien species, Buddleja davidii, Buddlejaceae, naturalization, ornamental plant Abstract: Sa?etak The Asian species Buddleja davidii Franch. (Buddlejaceae) is a common ornamental plant which escaped from cultivation and is now considered invasive in many European countries. In Croatia it is also grown as ornamental but until now there has been little evidence of its naturalization, although it was marked as naturalized in the Flora Croatica Database. In this article first detailed data on its local naturalization in Croatia are presented: it was discovered in quarries in Smerovi??e forming quite big naturalized population, where it presumably originated from planted individual(s). In the future special attention should be paid to this species, and if necessary eradication or containment actions should be promptly carried out
