Bauer, N., Lőkös, L.; Papp, B.: Distribution and habitats of Cardaminopsis petraea in Hungary

"Helychriso-Festucetum sulcatae dolomiticum" (HOHENESTER I960), dolomite grassland dominated by Festuca glauca (ZÓLYOMI 1950), "AlyssoSedetum", "Asplenio-Cystopteridetum" in extreme situation, and "Buphthalmo-Pinetum" (HEMP 1996), Festuco ovinae-Saxifragetum decipientis, Diantho moravici-Seslerietum albicantis, Medicagini prostratae-Festucetum pallentis (CERNY et al. 2006), etc. ZÓLYOMI (1950) mentioned Cardaminopsis petraea among the character species of dolomite rocky grasslands dominated by Festuca glauca of the Transdanubian Mts in Hungary (with the invariance value I) and made a comment that "csak a Keszthelyi-hegységben" ["only in the Keszthely Mts"]. His statement (with the names used for the associations, "Festucetum glaucae hungaricum", "Seseli leucospermi-Festucetum pallentis", etc.) was adopted by synthesising works (e.g. JÁVORKA and SOÓ 1951, SOÓ 1968, SIMON 2000). MATERIAL AND METHODS The Hungarian herbarium data were collected by reviewing the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (BP) [the sheet inventory number is given after the abbreviation. Additional specimens were studied in the herbaria of the Eötvös Lóránd University (BPU), University of Debrecen (DE), Savaria Museum, Szombathely (SAV). Cardaminopsis petraea was examined in all habitats documented in the literature and in herbaria. Coenological relevés in three significant stands were taken in order to document the habitat. The vegetation was sampled with the BRAUN-BLANQUET (1964) quadrate method (using 2 m x 2 m quadrates). Altogether 35 coenological relevés representing the habitats are presented in this article (Tables 1-2). The cryptogam data were collected relating to stone walls or parts of the stone walls not to relevés. The typical cryptogam taxa from the sampling sites were collected and identified, however, their dominating relations and density per relevé were not analysed because these parameters are difficult to estimate in the field. Nomenclature of the plant names follows SIMON (2000), that of the moss taxa ERZBERGER and PAPP (2004), the lichen taxa SIMON (1991) and VERSEGHY (1994), and the plant association names BORHIDI (2003).
