  This article presents Lajos Timár’s manuscript written in the 1950s. The original 24-page script includes folk names of plants collected by the author and his colleagues from the region along the river Tisza between Szolnok and Szeged (or Horgos) villages. Lajos Timár practised his collecting work in the 1940s and 1950s. He completed his list with previously published folk names coming from the area. The manuscript consists of 508 folk names of plants. This is the first time that the entire study appears in print. The article surveys the afterlife of the script as well.
