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

THE SCIENTIFIC WORK OF JENEY E. Jeney was among those who did not publish much. His publications and manuscripts are mostly from the 1970s and 1980s, and coincide with the modern era when syntaxonomy and phytotaxonomy were pushed in the background. When his colleagues and students asked him, why did not publish his results, he said that - "I am a teacher and my main task is education, and I feel it is more useful to spend my free time with keeping and revising my herbarium material in the long winter days". The writer of this article is aware of the existence of a few very carefully compiled scientific manuscripts. Among these is a report in 1973 to the Hungarian Academy of the Sciences, Department of Nature Sciences, on the subject "The structure of plant communities and the utilisation of solar energy". The quality of this work was such, according to Imre Horváth, that it could have been submitted as a dissertation for "candidate's degree". He presented botanical lectures on two occasions. In October 2000 he made one entitled "Floristic studies in the Bársonyos Hills" during the fourth conference entitled "Actual floristical and vegetation research in the Carpathian Basin" at Jósvafő. In March 2002 he made his presentation "Lycopodiums in the Bakony Mts" at the fifth conference on the "Actual floristical and vegetation research in the Carpathian Basin" conference at Pécs, southern Hungary. Soon after this he became ill and following a long illness. Jeney, father of four adult children (Hajnalka, Zsolt, Attila and Csaba), died in Budapest on 11th February, 2004.
