  In the 20^th century Sándor Polgár was one of the most outstanding researchers of adventive plant species in Hungary. He wrote nine publications in this theme. In the industrial environment of his home town Győr (NW Hungary) he found tropical species, most of them were southern-American origin. The richest alien flora came around the oil factories of the town. He reported 65 taxa new for the Hungarian flora, four of them were new for Europe too. He was a great expert of problematic Solanum, Amaranthus and Chenopodium genera.

  Results of nearly two decades of floristic research in the territory of Heves–Borsod Hills (Tar­na-vidék) and the northern foreground of the Bükk Mts are presented in this paper (altogether 4421 re­cords; BÁ: 1665, SJ: 2752). Several old literature records – partly supported by vouchers – are confirmed, e.g. Hypericum elegans and Lappula heteracantha from the Uppony Gorge, as well as Cephalaria tran­s­syl­va­ni­ca, Cypripedium calceolus, Diplotaxis erucoides and Plantago indica from the Heves–Borsod Hills and the nort­hern foreground of the Bükk Mts. Other former literature records (partly from the authors) are re­vi­sed. These revisions are mainly due to changes in taxonomic concepts of some genera in new keys (Carex, Cha­maecytisus, Epipactis, Molinia, Sorbus). Old literature and herbarium records of other significant taxa (Onos­ma visanii, Scutellaria columnae, Sorbus sp., Utricularia bremii/minor) are revised too. The new occurrence of Ferula sadleriana in the Uppony Gorge is probably the result of intentional seed dispersal. Of the many rare plants listed in our paper some are new for the flora of the region under study: Ag­ri­mo­nia procera, Alchemilla micans, Asplenium adiantum-nigrum, Astragalus austriacus, A. exscapus, Blysmus compressus, Carex appropinquata, C. cespitosa, Catabrosa aquatica, Centarea indurata, Dactylorhiza × as­cher­soniana, Epipactis voethii, Epipogium aphyllum, Equisetum hyemale, Festuca drymeja, Gagea bohemica, Gly­ceria nemoralis, Hesperis sylvestris, Myosotis caespitosa, Phegopteris connectilis, Platanthera chlorantha, P. × hybrida, Rosa gizellae, Scilla kladnii, Senecio doria, Solanum villosum, Taraxacum palustre, Triglochin pa­lustre. Two phytocoenological relevés representing the habitats of Myosotis caespitosa and Spiraea me­dia are presented. Currently known local distribution of some montane and forest-steppe elements are shown on maps.
