Impatiens edgeworthii – nový potenciálne invázny druh na Slovensku
Impatiens edgeworthii – new potentially invasive species in Slovakia
s. 11–27
Abstract: A new potentially invasive species Impatiens edgeworthii Hook. f. has been recorded in Slovakia. The original distribution of the species is in the western Himalayas (Pakistan, India, Nepal) and its introduction to Europe is likely related to its cultivation in the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden. In Europe, it has been confirmed in Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Slovakia so far. In Slovakia, the species was first recorded on Plavecký hradný vrch in 2019, but this locality was likely destroyed. Currently in Slovakia, the species occurs at a location in the spa park in Dudince (first recorded in 2023), where it forms large stands. Therefore, it is likely that the first plants appeared there several years ago. The pathway of introduction and origin of introduced plants at the site is unknown. The paper provides a summary of its taxonomy, literature data on its distribution and other characteristics of I. edgeworthii. Among other findings, the somatic chromosome number of the species 2n=12 and the genome size 2C=1.99 pg were confirmed from the Slovak locality.
Key words: Central Europe, genome size, karyology, naturalized species, neophyte.

Výsledky Floristického minikurzu konaného v roku 2024 v Bratislave, v mestských častiach Devínska Nová Ves, Lamač a Záhorská Bystrica
Results of the Floristic mini-course held in 2024 in Bratislava boroughs of Devínska Nová Ves, Lamač, and Záhorská Bystrica
s. 29–49
Abstract: The fifth Floristic mini-course of the Slovak Botanical Society at the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) and the Institute of Botany, Plant Science and Biodiversity Centre SAS was held in Bratislava (western Slovakia) on 21–22 June 2024. At the mini-course localities, we recorded 400 vascular plant taxa, 14 of which are listed in the Red List category (Adonis aestivalis, Bupleurum affine, Cerastium tenoreanum, Cyanus segetum, Erysimum diffusum, Filago vulgaris, Melampyrum barbatum subsp. barbatum, Nigella arvensis, Ophrys apifera, Petrorhagia saxifraga, Pilosella echioides, Seseli pallasii, Thymelaea passerina, and Trifolium striatum). Six of the taxa are legally protected on national level (Adonis aestivalis, Filago vulgaris, Ophrys apifera, Pilosella echioides, Seseli pallasii, and Trifolium striatum). Seven taxa are classified as invasive alien species of concern in the Slovak Republic or the European Union (Acer negundo, Ailanthus altissima, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Asclepias syriaca, Fallopia ×bohemica, Solidago canadensis, and S. gigantea). Several other findings are chorologically important for the territory of Bratislava, the Záhorská nížina Lowland, or Slovakia (Astragalus onobrychis, Chamaecytisus austriacus, Lonicera maackii, Melampyrum barbatum, Seseli pallasii, and Spiraea japonica).

Floristické nálezy cievnatých rastlín z okresu Považský Inovec (Západné Karpaty) – časť 1
Floristic records of vascular plants from the Považský Inovec Mts (Western Carpathians) – part 1
s. 51–76
Abstract: New localities of 43 vascular plant taxa from the Považský Inovec Mts (Western Carpathians) are presented. The list includes rare and endangered taxa, taxa reaching the limits of their distribution in this mountain range, and more common taxa of Slovak flora whose distribution in this region is not sufficiently documented. The data were collected between 1994 and 2025. Among the most interesting records are taxa reported for the first time for the Považský Inovec Mts: Nepeta pannonica, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Triglochin palustre and Valeriana sambucifolia. Other interesting records confirm the presence of taxa in this mountain range for which only historical data existed, e.g., Eriophorum angustifolium, E. latifolium, and Gymnocarpium robertianum. Additionally, taxa that are very rare for this region were also recorded, such as Botrychium lunaria, Cerastium glomeratum, Gentianopsis ciliata, Myosotis sparsiflora, Parnassia palustris, Stellaria alsine, Succisa pratensis, Thymus pulcherrimus subsp. sudeticus, and Valeriana dioica. The neophytes Bunias orientalis, Lunaria annua, and Metasequoia glyptostroboides found are also of interest.
Key words: distribution, rare and endangered species, recent floristic data, Western Carpathians.

Výskyt Moehringia muscosa a dalších vápnomilných druhů na ortorulách v pohoří Žiar (střední Slovensko)
Occurrence of Moehringia muscosa and other calciphilous species on gneiss in the Žiar Mts (Central Slovakia)
s. 77–82
Abstract: The calciphilous plant Moehringia muscosa occurs together with other calciphilous species (bryophytes, lichens) on plagioclase–rich gneiss in the Žiar Mts (Central Slovakia). The occurrence of calciphilous species on this gneiss is mainly attributed to the weathering of plagioclase, which releases calcium ions that can then form calcium carbonate through carbonatization.
Key words: calciphilous plants, carbonatization, gneiss, Moehringia muscosa, Slovakia.

Botanické zbierky a databázy v Slovenskom národnom múzeu – Prírodovednom múzeu v Bratislave
Botanical collections and databases in Slovak National Museum – Natural History Museum in Bratislava
s. 123–134
Abstract: Botanical collections in Slovak National Museum – Natural History Museum in Bratislava (acronym BRA) comprise cryptogams – i.e. non-vascular plants and fungi (including lichenized fungi), and vascular plants. The collection of cryptogams includes algae, bryophytes, lichens and fungi, fungal models and illustrations by A. Dermek, K. Cigánová, F. Procházka, J. Herink and freeze-dried fungi too. The collection of bryophytes includes specimens of renowned botanists (e.g. E. Bauer, Z. Pilous, V. Nábělek). Due to the long-term absence of a curator – bryologist, this group is currently unattended and not expanding. The lichenological collection, built and gathered by I. Pišút, is one of the largest and most well-known lichen collections in Central Europe in terms of quality and scope. P. Lizoň was dedicated to building an extensive mycological collection. This collection contains specimens of A. Kmeť, K. Kalchbrenner, F. Haszlinsky, J. Ľ. Holuby, V. Vraný, V. Greschik, and contemporary mycologists. The collection of vascular plants includes historical herbaria of Cyprián, A. Tagányi, M. Čulen, A. Kmeť, D. Sloboda, the reedition of Mattioli‘s herbarium, a sample book of grasses by I. Textorisová, botanical illustrations by K. Cigánová, the herbarium of M. Horváthová-Runkovičová and many important botanists and collectors. In addition, there is a collection of fruits and seeds, a large collection of archival materials, manuscripts and correspondence of prominent botanists (V. Greschik, S. Kupčok, G. Grodkovszky, J. Scheffer, E. Schidlay, J. Dvořák and V. Hodoval). The collection funds are expanded and supplemented every year.
Key words: cryptogams, Herbarium BRA, Slovakia, Tracheophyta.

„Nie je pŕhlica ako pŕhlica.“ Revízia rodu Lycopsis na území Slovenska a Česka
Revision of the genus Lycopsis in Slovakia and Czechia
s. 139–140
Abstract: Lycopsis orientalis is a neophyte in Central Europe, and new populations of this species are being increasingly discovered in this area. In Czechia, the first finding of this species was already published in 1981. There are no published records of this taxon from Slovakia, but the recent observations from southern parts of the country prove that it occurs also there. A revision of the distribution records of the genus Lycopsis from Slovakia and Czechia is needed. This is because L. orientalis was often not properly distinguished from its morphologically similar relative, L. arvensis, which is considered a widely distributed archaeophyte in both countries.
Key words: alien species, Boraginaceae, Lycopsis.

Silphium perfoliatum – energetická plodina budúcnosti či budúci invázny druh Európy?
Silphium perfoliatum – energy crop of the future or next invasive species of Europe?
s. 135–138
Abstract: Silphium perfoliatum, a robust perennial from the Asteraceae family originating from North America, is characterized by its high biomass production, high resistance and relatively low cultivation requirements. Due to these properties, it has been recently gaining popularity and being cultivated in Europe as an energy crop used for production of biogas. In some parts of Europe, the species has already become naturalized and due to its vitality, some authors warn about its possible invasive potential. In Slovakia, Silphium perfoliatum is occasionally experimentally cultivated, but it has not been found to be escaping cultivation yet. This short article informs about the recent record of species cultivation in northern Slovakia, and provides an overview of the current knowledge regarding the species’ use and potential risks, particularly in the context of its growing popularity as an energy crop in Europe.
Key words: alien species, Asteraceae, energy crop, Silphium perfoliatum.
