Kovács J. A.

The work is dealing with the botanical and nature conservational investigations on vascular flora and vegetation of the forest Csöde and its neighbouring. The territory is situated in the North-Western part of Göcsej, at the border of Vas and Zala county its, including 200 hectars.
It is emphasized the existency of more than 300 vascular taxa. It is describe and presents the chorology the following protected and valuable species: Aconitum vulparia, Aruncus sylvestris, Carlina acaulis, Cyclamen purpurascens, Dactylorhiza majalis, Daphne mezereum, Dryopteris carthusiana, Epipactis helleborine, Erythronium dens-canis, Galanthus nivalis, Helleborus dumetorum, Hemerocallis lilio-asphodelus, Hepatica nobilis, Lilium martagon, Neottia nidus-avis, Peucedanum carvifolia, Platanthera bifolia, Polygonum bistorta, Polystichum aculeatum, Primula vulgaris, Scilla drunensis, Vicia oroboides. The big and vigurous populations of Cyclamen purpurascens, Erythronium dens-canis, Helleborus purpurascens and Vicia oroboides have a phytogeographical importance.
The forest and the herbaceous vegetation is characterized by the following plant communities: Lemnetum minoris, Callitrichetum cophocarpae, Phragmitetum communis, Typhetum latifoliae, Glycerietum maximae, Caricetum elatae, Caricetum acutiformis, Carici-Phalaridetum, Succiso-Molinietum, Agrostio-Deschampsietum, Carici-Alopecuretum, Festucetum pratensis, Aegopodio-Petasitetum, Filipendulo-Geranietum palustris, Angelico-Cirsietum oleracei, Pastinaco-Arrhenatheretum, Alopecuro-Arrhenatheretum, Sambucetum ebuli, Eupatorio-Solidaginatem, Calamagrostietum epigeii, Fragario-Rubetum, Salicetum albae-fragilis, Calamagristi-Salicetum cinareae, Aegopodio-Alnetum, Carici brizoidis-Alnetum, Cyclamini-Fagetum, Cyclamini-Carpinetum, Pruno spinosae-Crataegetum and cultivated types like Piceetum excelsae, Pinetum sylvestris, and Bromo sterili-Robinietum.
The most important vegetation units have been mapped on the detailed scale (1:5000). As an important natural landscape, representative for West-Transdanubia, with a special floral and coenological diversity and genesources, this small territory have been proposed to be protected area, used for educational aims and eco-tourism.
