The Agropyron-Elymus complex (Poaceae) in Poland: nomenclatural problems.
Abstract: The Agropyron-Elymus complex is critical both in its taxonomy and nomenclature. The present study is aimed at putting in order the nomenclature of the representatives of this complex occurring in Poland and focuses on Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. subsp. pectinatum (M. Bieb.) Tzvelev, Hordelymus europaeus (L.) Jess. ex Harz, Leymus arenarius (L.) Hochst., Elymus caninus (L.) L., E. farctus (Viv.) Runemark ex Melderis subsp. boreoatlanticus (Simonet & Guin.) Melderis, E. hispidus (Opiz) Melderis subsp. hispidus, E. hispidus (Opiz) Melderis subsp. barbulatus (Schur) Melderis, E. pycnanthus (Godr.) Melderis, E. repens (L.) Gould subsp. repens, and E. repens (L.) Gould subsp. arenosus (Spenn.) Melderis.

The Agropyron-Elymus complex (Poaceae) in Poland: disappearance of Elymus farctus subsp. boreoatlanticus on the coast of the Baltic Sea.
Abstract: Elymus farctus (Viv.) Runemark ex Melderis subsp. boreaoatlanticus (Simonet & Guin.) Melderis occupies the northern part of the general distribution (from Spain to Finland) of the species. Its localities are concentrated mostly along the western coast-line of Europe (from Spain to Germany). However, in the east (the Baltic Sea coast) the number of its stands decreases rapidly and it is usually considered to be an endangered or rare species. The occurrence of subsp. boreoatlanticus in this area is reviewed, and the map was drawn, on the basis of herbarium material and literature, the author's own herbarium material and observations in the field, as well as personal communications. The reasons for its disappearance on the Baltic coast are given.

The distribution of character species of the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea class in Poland. Part II. Carex bohemica, Eleocharis ovata and Juncus tenageia.
Abstract: Distribution maps for Carex bohemica Schreb., Eleocharis ovata (Roth) Roem. & Schult. and Juncus tenageia Ehrh. in Poland have been prepared based on herbarium material, the literature and unpublished data. Brief descriptions of their habitats and general distributions are also given. Carex bohemica, Eleocharis ovata and Juncus tenageia are scattered over much of Europe but in Poland they are classified as rare. The species have a narrow ecological tolerance and destruction of their habitats by man (especially through increasingly contaminated water) and natural factors are presumably the main reasons for their disappearance in Poland. Special attention should be paid to Carex bohemica and Juncus tenageia, which here reach the easternmost limits of their range and for this reason are particularly vulnerable to extinction.

Mosses of the Wieluń Upland (Southern Poland).
Abstract: The paper summarizes the results of the author's own studies on the mosses of the Wieluń Upland (Wyżyna Wieluńska), Southern Poland, from 1992-1995, together with records from the literature (1964-1992). Distributional data for 229 moss species is presented. The moss flora contained 122 (53%) rare or very rare species, most of which are rare in Poland as a whole (e.g. Acaulon muticum, Bryum weigelii, Phascum curvicolle, Seligeria calcarea and Tortella inclinata). A group of mountain species was also identified, comprising 39 taxa (17%). The influence of human pressure on the moss flora is also discussed.

Preliminary studies on the bryoflora of Katowice town (Silesian Upland, Southern Poland).
Abstract: Studies on the bryoflora of Katowice town (Silesian Upland) were begun in 1998. This paper provides information about 67 species which are rare in the studied area. Four of the liverwort and 23 of the moss species have not been reported from Katowice before. Five species, Discelium nudum, Helodium blandowii, Leptodictyum humile, Philonotis caespitosa and Trematodon ambiguus, are included in the “Red list of threatened mosses in Poland”.

The lichen collection from Opole Silesia (Poland) housed in the Wrocław University Herbarium.
Abstract: This paper deals with the lichen collection assembled between 1863 and 1899 from Opole Silesia (Śląsk Opolski) in south-west Poland and housed in the Wrocław University Herbarium (WRSL). The collection of 209 specimens contains 120 lichen species which are here listed, together with data on site locality, date of collection, collector's name and type of habitat. Of the 120 taxa preserved in WRSL only 13 were seen in the field from 1994-1996.

Elements of the lichen flora of Kaffiřyra (Oscar II Land, NW Spitsbergen) collected during the Third Toruń Polar Expedition Spitsbergen - 1978.
Abstract: This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the lichen flora of Kaffiřyra (Oscar II Land, NW Spitsbergen). It gives details of the occurrence and distribution of 85 lichen taxa collected in 1978 during a study of the vegetation of the area and includes a short description of their habitats. The species found represent 14.3% of the known Svalbard lichen flora. 64 (75.3%) species may be considered common, 16 (18.8%) rather rare, and the following 5 (5.9%) have been very rarely recorded from Svalbard: Caloplaca arenaria, C. sinapisperma, Cladonia cervicornis, Polyblastia melaspora and Rhizocarpon cinereovirens.

The diatom flora of the “Bór na Czerwonem” raised peat-bog in the Nowy Targ Basin (Southern Poland).
Abstract: Diatoms inhabiting the “Bór na Czerwonem” raised peat-bog were studied under the light and electron microscopes (LM and SEM). The study area is relatively little influenced by human impact. The subjects of study were various types of substrate including peat surface, squeezings of Sphagnum, blue-green alga thalli, filamentous green algae and vascular plants from peat mound, rand, lagg, and a drainage ditch. A specific diatom flora inhabited all types of sampling site, comprising in total 87 taxa in 26 genera. Among them 77 were new to the study area and 25 to the Polish flora. Within this 25, the following six have been very rarely recorded in Europe: Aulacoseira crassipunctata, Caloneis aerophila, Eunotia botuliformis, E. microcephala, E. septentrionalis and Pinnularia borealis var. scalaris. The genera containing the greatest number of taxa were Eunotia (14), Frustulia (2) and Pinnularia (17), all typical for this kind of substrate.
