Abstract

In this study we report the occurrence data of 14 fern species from the area of the Danube–Tisza Interfluve and the Tiszántúl (Great Hungarian Plain). All data have been collected from sec­ondary habitats, such as buildings and man-made structures, pine plantations and canals. We pre­sent new data on seven protected and one alien fern species (Azolla filiculoides). Seven and six species were found together on the brick walls of old buildings near the railway stations in Bácsalmás and Baja, respectively. The new occurrences of Gymnocarpium robertianum, Pteridium aquilinum, Asplenium adiantum-nigrum and Polypodium vulgare have great importance from a floristic point of view. The latter two species were recorded both in pine plantations and on brick walls.
