Abstract
In 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.
