Bauer, N., Lőkös, L.; Papp, B.: Distribution and habitats of Cardaminopsis petraea in Hungary
Buda Mts SOÓ (1968) and SOÓ and KÁRPÁTI (1968) mentioned Cardaminopsis petraea from Mt "Nagy-Szénás" in the Buda Mts, a data of doubtful origin that requires verification. Mecsek Mts "Arabis Crantziana Ehr." was mentioned from the environs of Pécs with the note "bei Fünfkircben" in the review of NEILREICH ( 1866). The author refers to the enumeration of K. NENDTVICH (1836). The species was not listed in the work of T. NENDTVICH ( 1846) about the rare plants of the environs of Pécs. KERNER (1863) called the attention to several erroneous data of K. NENDTVICH, but "Arabis Crantziana" was not mentioned by him. SlMONKAl (1876) was searching for it unsuccessfully on its presumed location near Pécs, on "Schneeberg", and also commented that it became extinct according to NENDTVICH V. The Mecsek occurrence has been cited in subsequent synthetic works as the species being extinct or its presence doubtful: HAZSLINSZKY(1872): "leihelyei bizonytalanok s nyugoton keresendők" ["its occurrences are questionable and should be searched for in the wesf']-, HORVÁT (1942): "egykor... Pécs... Havihegy" ["erstwhile.. .Pécs... Havihegy"]; JÁVORKA (1925): "a Mecseként" ["on the Mecsek?"]', SOÓ (1968): "Mecsek f ?" ["Mecsek fr*"]. Recent works do not reference the species from the environs of Pécs and the plant is cited on the maps of JALAS and SUOMINEN (1996) as extinct from this location. The hill called Havihegy in the town of Pécs is a residential area today. Habitat preferences in Hungary Careful survey of occurrence data of Cardaminopsis petraea in Hungary revealed the existence of three major (Csobánc, Kőmell, Bise-kő) and two minor populations (Vas Hill, Büdöskúti Valley). The strongest stand of Cardaminopsis petraea in Hungary remained on one of the basalt volcanic monadnocks in the Balaton Uplands, namely on the Csobánc Hill. The majority of this population exits on the Upper Pannonian (Mio-Pliocene) basalt rocky outcrops of the northern slope
