Abstract

Railways are important introduction and dispersal corridors for plant species. The first establishment and spread of many alien plant species in Hungary can be linked to railways nowadays. Sabulina tenuifolia (L.) Rchb. is a sub-Atlantic–sub-Mediterranean–Western-Asian plant, which was not previously known from the flora of Hungary, but a small population of the species was found in Budapest, at the Rákospalota-Újpest railway station. The plant was probably introduced as a stowaway of rail transport and its further spread along railways is expected. The inclusion of the species in the Hungarian plant identification key has been published in the article.
