DISCUSSION Most of the specimens collected by HANÁK in Hungary are from Vác, Buda and Pest. Some specimens were collected near Esztergom, Heves, Ernőd, Göd, Jászberény, Kecskemét, Keszthely, Vásárosnamény, Pécs, Sátoraljaújhely, Sopron, Szentendre and Tokaj. The origin ofthose from Keszthely, Pécs and Szentendre is uncertain, they may be exchange material. He collected plants from gardens too (Noszvaj, Gödöllő). HANÁK's herbarium contains a lot of species, which have become endangered for today. For example Cypripedium calceolus died out in the surroundings of Budapest. Astragalus exscapus, Colchicum arenarium, Ephedra distachya, Vaccaria hispanica, Ophrys sphegodes and others are protected plants of Hungary today and are very rare around Vác. * Acknowledgements - I wish to thank LÁSZLÓ LŐKÖS for his remarks on the manuscript, and LAJOS FELFÖLDY, DÁNIEL PIFKÓ, ZSUZSANNA MOLNÁR and ZSUZSANNA BUNKE for their advice and assistance.
