The genus Curculigo (Hypoxidaceae) in Central Africa (Zaire, Rwanda, Burundi).
Abstract: Curculigo pilosa (Schum. & Thonn.) Engl. is the only wild species of the genus Curculigo Gaertner in Central Africa (Zaire, Rwanda, Burundi). It is known from locations in Zaire and Burundi. Moreover one ornamental species, C. capitulata (Lour.) Kuntze, of Asiatic origin is cultivated there. In Rwanda, there are no Curculigo species. Within C. pilosa three subspecies: subsp. pilosa, subsp. minor (Guinea E.) Wiland and subsp. major (Bak.) Wiland have been distinguished. The species are described and a taxonomic key to them is given. The subspecies are illustrated and their distribution in Central Africa is mapped.

Distribution of Agrostis rupestris and A. alpina (Poaceae) and remarks on their taxonomy and karyology.
Abstract: The general distribution of Agrostis rupestris All. and A. alpina Scop. in Europe, as well as their detailed distribution in the Tatra Mts., have been mapped. Three morphological characters separating the two species have been described and illustrated. In addition differences based on five characters among populations of A. rupestris from four mountain ranges in Europe are given. Slight variations among the populations have been detected of little or no taxonomic consequence. The problem of two chromosome numbers (2n = 14 and 28) occurring in A. rupestris is discussed.

Distribution of Alisma lanceolatum (Alismataceae) in Poland.
Abstract: The distribution map of Alisma lanceolatum With. and list of localities in Poland is given. The distribution is based on herbarium materials, the literature and unpublished data. A. lanceolatum is a plant associated with the valleys of large rivers. This species is more common than A. gramineum Gmel. and less common than A. plantago-aquatica L.

(northern Mongolia) during the Polish Mongolian Physico-Geographical Expedition in the summer of 1978, are presented in this work. The list of vascular plants occurring in the area investigated comprises 306 species. The habitats, plant communities and altitudinal ranges of all these species are presented.

Evolution and conservation of lobelia lakes in Poland.
Abstract: This paper describes the specific hydrochemical, floristic, phytocoenotic and biotopic characteristics of lobelia lakes in Poland defined as bodies of water containing one or more of the species Lobelia dortmanna L., Isoëtes lacustris L. and Littorella uniflora (L.) Asch. Problems of conservation and evolutionary trends in these lakes are discussed. Factors influencing conditions in the lakes include the kinds of soil and vegetation found in their catchment areas, and, particularly, the concentration of humic acids present. Their specific characteristics are gradually being eroded by eutrophication, increases in toxicity and acidity, changes in the water table in their catchment areas, the development of mass tourism and increased recreational use.
Key words: oligotrophic lakes, Lobelia dortmanna, Isoëtes lacustris, Littorella uniflora, northern Poland.

Contribution to the phytocoenological knowledge of Pyrenean forests.
Abstract: Following some ongoing projects on phytocoenology and vegetation mapping in the central Pyrenees, we give phytocoenological descriptions of a number of communities. As a result we describe one new association, three new subassociations and five variants; the others, though described previously, were poorly known until now. For each one, species composition, ecology and distribution are discussed, and a relevé table is provided. The list, in decreasing order of dryness of habitat, is:
- Quercetum rotundifoliae asplenietosum adiantinigri, subass. nova; holm oak forest growing on dry, rocky slopes, mainly of slate, in the basal (rarely sub-montane) belt of the inner, drier part of the Pyrenees.
- Lathyro linifolii-Quercetum petraeae; deciduous oak or birch forest of the montane belt, growing on meso-xeric, acid slopes at the heads of valleys.
- Veronico-Betuletum pendulae; deciduous mixed woodland typical of poor, acid soils, on moister aspects at the heads of valleys.
- Roso pendulinae-Aceretum platanoidis, ass. nova; mixed, very diverse thicket confined to rock deposits in moist, snowy habitats, in the upper part of the montane belt of Val d'Aran which experiences a mountain Atlantic climate.
Key words: Pyrenees, vegetation, forests, phytocoenology, Quercetea ilicis, Querco-Fagetea, Vaccinio-Piceetea.
Anthropogenic changes of forest communities in the Agricultural Landscape Park near Turew in mid-western Poland.
Abstract: The study was carried out in different types of tree plantation and managed forest in the Galio-Carpinetum habitats of the Agroecological Landscape Park near Turew (Mid-Western Poland). Human transformation of the landscape and strong pressure on the forest stands from modern agricultural practice caused diversity in the structure of plant communities and the herb layer. Analyses of the flora from a geographic-historical standpoint, and the application to it of Raunkiaer's life form species characteristic, showed the intensity of synanthropization.

Antipodal mosses: VII. A reappraisal of Tortula didymodontoides (Musci, Pottiaceae) from Îles Kerguelen.
Abstract: Tortula didymodontoides Broth. in Dryg. from the subantarctic island of Kerguelen, which was recently transferred to the genus Syntrichia Brid. as S. didymodontoides (Broth. in Dryg.) Zand., is taxonomically assessed. It is shown that this species is conspecific with Syntrichia saxicola (Card.) Zand. Some diagnostic characters of this species are illustrated and the known distribution of S. saxicola is mapped. It covers Tierra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands and Andean Patagonia north to the southern Valdivian region, the subantarctic islands of South Georgia and Îles Kerguelen and the northern maritime Antarctic including the South Orkney and South Shetland Islands. S. saxicola is designated as an amphiatlantic temperate species. The lectotype is selected for Tortula saxicola Card.

Surface ozone concentrations in southern Poland: tobacco cultivar exposure study.
Abstract: During the summer of 1994, at six stations located in Kraków Province (southern Poland), the level of ambient ozone concentration was measured using passive samplers. Active measurements were made at two stations located in the city of Kraków. During the period from 1 July to 22 September ozone bioindicator plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were also exposed to the ambient air at the stations with passive samplers. Maximum one-hour concentrations of ozone measured with the UV-photometer occurred in late July and early August and reached 118 ppb. The mean concentration of ozone for a two month period (August, September), measured using passive samplers, varied from 24.7 to 34.8 ppb, according to the site. The lowest concentrations were found in localities within the Niepołomice Forest (20-40 km east of Kraków) and in the centre of Kraków, while the highest concentrations occurred in the western part of the city and 40 km south of Kraków. Field experiments with ethylenediurea (EDU), phenylurea (PU) and urea (U) showed that foliar application of EDU gives distinct protection but that of PU only partially protects plants against the harmful effect of ozone. Urea is not an antioxidant substance.
