Abstract
The discovery of the circumboreal grass Scolochloa festucacea
in Hungary, which is also its first known locality in the entire
Carpathian Basin, is documented. Only one population was found, near
Földsziget in the western fen basin of the Hanság
region in NW Hungary. The locality, where it grows as a dominant,
stand-forming species in an area of c. 10 hectare, is one of the low
elevation refugia of the boreal flora in Central Europe, indicating the
relict character of its Hungarian occurrence.
