Abstract

In Hungary Leucojum vernum is considered a plant species of montane character, distribu­ted predominantly in Transdanubia. Apart from some isolated localities (Zalaszántó Basin Mts, Tapolca Basin), the occurrences of the species are mainly confined to the region “Magas Bakony” and its pe­riphery within the Hungarian Middle Mts. In the spring of 2020 a large population was discovered by the author in the region “Súri-Bakonyalja”, which significantly expands the known local distribution range of the species. The new population, together with other phytogeographically significant species (e.g. Anemone nemorosa, Corydalis intermedia, Veratrum album), was found in a poorly explored val­ley system (Kisbér village: Báró-erdő). Based on all literature and herbarium records, the local distribu­tion range of L. vernum is surveyed.
