Höhn, Mária: Vascular flora of the Kelemen (Calimani) Mts on the side of the Maros (Mures) river drainage area

The palynology of montane mires from the fields of Déda were studied by DlACONEASA and SUTEU (1980), in which there are also references about the frequency of some characteristic species. "Vegetatia Romaniei", the most recent book about the vegetation of Romania, was published in 1992. It contains floristical data also from the Kelemen Mts, but these take more time for processing. Among "Tiscia" monograph series in 1995 appeared a detailed study about the Maros valley. In the chapter, describing the flora and vegetation by C. DRAGULESCU, there are also floristical data concerning the defile. The "Romanian Flora (Flora RPR)" processes the existing data, but not all of them. There are some species, whose presence in the territory are mentioned by authors and are not included in this big enumeration. Some data from the Flora should be clarified in further studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The conspectus of species is mainly based on proper collection, during the field work beginning from 1984 until the present. Species were determined by the author. In the time of the university years taxa were supervised by Dr J. GERGELY in the herbarium of the University Babes-Bolyai, Cluj. Later in the 90th uncertain taxa were clarified in the herbarium of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. I thank to prof. Dr L. FELFÖLDY for his precious help in determination of some species of Poaceae and Cyperaceae. To Ms Zs. BUNKE for her useful advice and for guiding me in the herbarium. The list includes also data from other authors, but only those that could be well-detected. From the "Romanian Flora" are included data that are unambiguous, and refer to this part of the Kelemen Mts. For determination I used the "Flora RPR resp. RSR Vols I-XIII", and "Magyar Flóra". In case of some uncertain taxa I applied to other monographs and papers also (HEGI 1908-1931, TUTIN etal. 1962-1980, WlTASEK 1906). Nomenclature is in accordance with "Flora Europaea". The list includes beside the taxon name and author the life form, geoelement, localities, frequency data. If it is not a proper collection I mention the author from whom the data originates. New data for the territory are enhanced. For the better orientation species are arranged in alphabetical order. Abbreviations Life forms are in accordance with the RAUNKIAER categories.
