Somlyay, L.: Occurrence of Chamaesyce glyptosperma, and a survey of the genus Chamaesyce (Euphorbiaceae) in Hungary
28 L. Somlyay For the sake of historical truth it is noteworthy that at the end of the 19 t h century ( 1897) the plant was collected (and labelled as Euphorbia chamaesyce, BP) by LIPÓT GRÓSZ in the botanical garden of the Budapest University of Science. It is probable that this was a casual occurrence, i.e. the result of former cultivation of the species in the garden (as in the case of C. humifusa). This supposition is supported by the sheet created by MÁGOCSY (though without date) on which both C. humifusa and C. maculata specimens can be found (labelled as Euphorbia chamaesyce, see under C. humifusa). Nevertheless, in Budapest the first undoubtedly casual occurrence of C. maculata was documented by JÓZSEF ANDRASOVSZKY, who collected the species in 1913 at the Institute of Ampelology located in Buda at that time (BP).

Remarks - C. nutans was discovered in Hungary by SZEPESFALVY (1928) along the railway (from Szob to Vác settlements) at the foothills of the Börzsöny Mts. A few years later the plant was collected in a similar habitat near Gárdony and Dinnyés villages in the vicinity of Lake Velence (KÁRPÁTI 1935). However, the latter occurrences could not be confirmed subsequently (KÁRPÁTI 1950). Some further localities of the species such as Balatonszemes Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 101, 2009
