Kováts, Dezső: Localities of flowering plant collectings in the Kiskunság National Park and in the Danube-Tisza Mid-Region of Hungary

inated practically from all parts of the KNP and D-T. These names of administrative units and localities were based on the Catalogue of Geographical Names of Hungary II (FÖLDI 1979, 1980). I enumerated and put in alphabetical order with grid references 36 larger administrative units (1st list) and 99 minor localities (2nd list) of flowering plant collectings in the area of KNP and other protected areas of the region (Map 1, after TÓTH 1979) and 166 larger administrative units (3rd list) and 170 minor localities (4th list) of flowering plant collectings in the area of D-T (Map 2). The grid references follow the Central European Flora Mapping System (NlKLFELD 1971), applied to Hungary by BORHIDI et al. (1972). Grid references of every administrative unit and locality are given after each name (except in cases the grid reference is the same as the previous one). Budapest and Csepelsziget were not given grid references, because their areas include several grid references. However, some other large administrative units may have more than one grid reference. In the 1st and 3rd lists the larger administrative units (boldface) are in alphabetical order, and each followed by the list of minor localities which administratively belong to them. In the 2nd and 4th lists the minor localities are in alphabetical order and the larger administrative units follow them where they are administratively belonging to. Old locality names not in use nowadays but sometimes found on old herbarium labels {e.g. "Horthy-liget" and "Szilágyi-telep", the old names of Szigethalom, or "Sövényháza", the old name of Opusztaszer, Kohári-Szt. Lőrinc erdeje, belonged to Nyárlőrinc and so on) are also included in the lists. Some expanding towns and villages might incorporate some, earlier independent settlements of their surroundings. They are in brackets in the check-lists, e.g. in the KNP: (Alsó-, Felső-dabas, Gyón, Sári) are incorporated by Dabas, or in the D-T: (Csepel, Kispest, Pesterzsébet, Pestimre, Soroksár) are incorporated by Budapest, (PusztaGyál) is incorporated by Gyál, (Kiskundorozsma, Algyő, Tápé, Gyálarét) are incorporated by Szeged. Unidentifiable names (on old herbarium labels and in literature) are followed by question marks in the check-lists. Acknowledgements. I am very grateful to Mrs Judit Tamáska Esztergályos who helped me to put in order the locality names and to Mrs Erzsébet Donka for drawing of the maps. Many thanks are due to the assistants of the Botanical Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum who prepared locality names of plant collectings which were the basis of my work.
