Data on the flora of the burial mounds of the Great Hungarian Plain
31–44Views:177In this paper, we present plant occurrence data from ancient burial mounds, located in the Danube–Tisza Interfluve (Praematricum and Colocense) and in the Trans-Tisza region (Crisicum), Hungary. We report data on 45 vascular plant species and one fungus (Morchella steppicola) from a total of 109 mounds. Of the species presented, 13 taxa are protected in Hungary, some of which are not rare in the study region (e.g. Aster sedifolius, Astragalus asper, Linaria biebersteinii, and Ornithogalum brevistylum). We present new occurrence records of some spreading annual species (e.g. Aegilops cylindrica, Crepis pulchra, and Trifolium diffusum), as well as data on some species that have not been previously reported from mounds (e.g. Agrostemma githago, Chaerophyllum bulbosum, and Dryopteris filix-mas), and we also publish the occurrences of an alien species (Lolium multiflorum) on burial mounds. In terms of plant biogeography, the occurrence of Orobanche reticulata in Kengyel and Oxytropis pilosa in Tömörkény is considered an especially important data.

Carpathian, Transylvanian, Dacian and Pannonian elements in the flora of Sălaj region (NW Romania)
259-267Views:288This paper gives an account of biogeographically interesting plant species of the traditional ethnographic region Sălaj (in Hungarian: “Szilágyság”, NW Romania). The flora of the region, which is situated between the Transylvanian Basin and the eastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain, contains, besides the prevailing European species, a significant percentage of plant species from different biogeographic regions. Among these we noticed the continental species of eastern origin, as well as southern Sub-Mediterranean species broadly distributed in this area. A significant number of other interesting species is further represented by the endemic and sub-endemic Carpathian (Aconitum moldavicum Hacq., Symphytum cordatum Waldst. & Kit.), Transylvanian (Cephalaria radiata Griseb. & Schenk, Onosma pseudoarenaria Schur subsp. pseudoarenaria), Dacian (Helleborus purpurascens Waldst. & Kit., Phyteuma tetramerum Schur) and Pannonian (Centaurea sadleriana Janka), species, which occur in very different habitats.

Distribution and identification key of Rubus L. ser. Micantes in Hungary
56-68Views:150Based on a substantial field-work and herbarium revision carried out between 2007 and 2014, the authors present the taxonomical evaluation of recently known representatives of Rubus L. ser. Micantes Sudre in Hungary, providing the first grid-based distribution maps and an identification key of four species of the section (Rubus balatonicus Borbás, R. clusii Borbás, R. styriacus Halácsy, R. tabanimontanus Figert) for Hungary.
