Dancza, István: In memoriam Endre Jeney. (16 August 1934, Debrecen - 11 February 2004, Budapest)

He was familiar with the flora of a wide range of habitats from open rocky grasslands, to fens or the monoculture of cornfields. Sometimes he fearlessly collected plants on rocky walls or swampy areas. His collecting activity was characterised by exceptional precision and at the same time with an intention of collecting as many specimens as possible. He processed the specimens as good as possible in the given circumstances, and he liked the well-prepared ones. As he used to jokingly say to his peers, "Igrabbed them" and that "They ( the plant samples) will admit their names to me at home". The approximately 18,000 specimens of the Jeney herbarium were acquired by the Hungarian Natural History Museum in 2006. Zoltán Barina began inventory and revisionary work in 2006. Fig. 2.
