The distribution of spring ephemeral grass Sclerochloa dura in Slovakia was studied using herbarium specimens deposited at the public herbaria, and literature sources. The targeted field research was carried out. The species was recorded continually in the Pannonian parts of the country in lowlands, hills and in lower parts of adjacent mountains, where the number of sites decreased with a rising altitude. Sclerochloa dura is a characteristic species of the alliance Polygono-Coronopodion and prefers trampled sites and field roads. Distribution map of species was provided.
