            <description><![CDATA[Himalamintha is described as a new genus in subtribe Menthinae characterized in first place by a calyx that is tubular and only weakly bilabiate, not sigmoid and distinctly bilabiate. The new genus contains 6 rather poorly known species occuring throughout the Himalayan region from the Chinese Province of Yunnan in the East to the western Himalayan foothills of Pakistan in the West. They had been placed in no fewer than 6 different genera over time (Calamintha, Clinopodium, Melissa, Micromeria, Satureja or even Thymus), whereas more recently they were united under Clinopodium. The species form a well supported phylogenetic lineage dissociated from typical Clinopodium and the other genera. It is more closely related to Ziziphora in the plastid DNA analyses or Cyclotrichium, Mentha and the Clinopodium abyssinicum group (also not close to typical Clinopodium) in the nuclear ribosomal DNA analyses. An overview on the complex taxonomic history is provided, morphological differences to related groups are outlined and the biogeography is discussed. Revising the material available from herbaria, literature and online databases, the genus and its component species are described in detail and an identification key is provided. For each species full synonymy, types and typifications are cited and the 5 names Calamintha barosma W.W.Sm., Calamintha euosma W.W.Sm., Clinopodium longicaule Benth., Micromeria wardii C.Marquand &amp; Airy Shaw, and Thymus piperitus D.Don are typified. Notes on the species´ flowering time, ecology, altitudinal range, and distribution are added. Finally, images of the types and other herbarium specimens (incl. images of details), living plants and line drawings of diagnostic calyx characters are intended to support species identification.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Hieracium collections of Karl Touton (1858–1934) and August Schlickum (1867–1946) in the Botanical Museum Berlin (B), comprising over 26,000 specimens, were examined and the type specimens identified. Of the more than 500 Hieracium taxa described by Touton and now belonging to Pilosella, 325 names are lectotypified and the new combinations Pilosella bauhini subsp. hispidissimigenes (Touton ex Zahn) Gottschl., P. piloselloides subsp. hirsuticeps (Nägeli &amp; Peter) Gottschl., P. ziziana subsp. obovatifolia (Zahn) Gottschl., and P. ziziana subsp. insignis (Nägeli &amp; Peter) Gottschl. are proposed. The strong fragmentation of species introduced by Touton prompted a revision, as a result of which 407 names are assigned as synonyms to a total of 56 more comprehensive taxa.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Plant communities from the highlands of the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria are described. These communities originated from grassland use and are currently subject to vegetation dynamics due to extensification. As a result of delayed mowing dates, a reduction in mowing frequency, and the partial retention of vegetation on the areas, the dynamics of species composition can be traced, with a tendency toward the promotion and dominance of individual species. In the medium term, largely homogenized species sets will emerge at the growth sites, resulting in significantly reduced floristic and sociological diversity. Based on the findings, a discussion on management practices is encouraged, also with regard to the effectiveness of the funding criteria of the current agri-environmental programs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From May to June 2025, the author searched 47 campsites and caravan sites in the federal states of Upper Austria, Salzburg and south-east Bavaria for plants. It was found that the vegetation consists of typical grassland species, some of which came from green cover seeding, as well as introduced species. The latter were unintentionally brought in by vehicles, tourists, tents, mats etc. Some new species have been recorded for the area or the federal states, including even occurrences in high abundance where establishment can even be assumed. Although there were differences between the individual campsites in terms of vegetation, one group of plants was found on almost all of them. New records for Upper Austria are Ranunculus muricatus, R. parviflorus and Veronica acinifolia, for the province of Salzburg Alchemilla australis, Ranunculus muricatus, R. parviflorus and Sclerochloa dura, for Bavaria Crassula tillaea, Galium murale, Ranunculus parviflorus, Sabulina mediterranea and Trifolium scabrum. Photos are shown of the more interesting species. A comparison with other publications on campsite plants and the findings to date are discussed with regard to their known distribution. As camping continues to be a strong trend, further introductions are to be expected in the future. This publication is intended to motivate further investigations.]]></description>

In the course of the conference excursions, 59 taxa were identified (19 characeae taxa, 39 vascular plant taxa and 1 moss taxon).ZusammenfassungVom 13. bis 18. Juli 2023 fand in Gmunden die 18. Characeentagung statt. Die Planung und Organisation wurden von den beiden Autoren durchgeführt. Als Tagungsort und Unterkunft wurde die Berufsschule Gmunden 1, Miller-von-Aichholzstraße 30, Gmunden gewählt. Die Tagung wurde vor allem aus zwei Gründen veranstaltet: Erstens, um den Kenntnisstand über die Wasserpflanzen dieses Gebietes zu verbessern und zweitens wurde mit dieser Tagung noch einmal ein wichtiger Impuls für das Projekt „Characeen Österreichs“ (Hohla &amp; al. 2025a) gesetzt. Characeentagungen wurden in der Vergangenheit in verschiedenen Ländern Europas abgehalten. Dahinter steht die Arbeitsgruppe Characeen Deutschlands, die 2004 in Rostock durch die Teilnehmer der Tagung „Characeen in Deutschland“ gegründet wurde (Arbeitsgruppe Characeen Deutschlands 2016).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Ecological indicator values for Austrian vascular plants. Ecological indicator values of plants serve as indirect indicators for the status of ecological parameters in absence of physico-chemical measurements at place. Ellenberg introduced seven parameters which are namely light (L), temperature (T), continentality (K), moisture (F), reaction (R), nutrients (N), and salt (S), to define optima of plant growth under natural conditions along gradients scaled to nine levels. The moisture gradient is even extended to twelve levels and additional codes give information about the tolerance of facultative flooding or seasonal drought. Species that lack distinct optima and are present over a zone of more than four levels of the respective gradients are called indifferent (i). Plants that show optima situated towards both ends of the scale for parameters F and R are classified as bimodal (b) for the first time in national records of indicator values. Broad amplitudes and indistinct optima of species presences along the scales are not indicated separately due to the lack of available data. For 4902 vascular plants we provide indicator values that are valid for the Republic of Austria (holds for L, T, F, R, N, S). The values for continentality (K) consider the whole distribution area of the species. Comparisons with indicator value systems from neighboring countries show some shifts in the number of species assigned to the indicator levels but the histograms do not differ very much. Apparently, such shifts depend on the length of the ecological gradients available in the respective region but also on the regional pool of species and subspecific ecotypes.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From 2016 to 2018 a comprehensive mapping of hawkweeds (Hieracium s. str., Pilosella and Chlorocrepis) accompanied by intensive activities in collecting of herbarium specimens was carried out in the Burgenland (Austria). Additionally, records cited in literature and obtained by revision work in several European herbaria were added to our database. As a result, an annnotated list of hawkweeds species in Burgenland country is presented. It is based on almost 2900 datasets, of which nearly 2700 are documented by herbarium specimens. In additition to Chlorocrepis staticifolia the list includes 22 species of the genus Hieracium with 64 subspecies and 32 species of the genus Pilosella with five subspecies. All of them are documented by herbarium specimens. In addition, 31 subspecies from literature are cited in the text. Eight species of the genus Hieracium (H. diaphanoides, H. glaucinum, H. neostenophyllum, H. pillii, H. pseudobifidum, H. rotundatum, H. sibaricum, H. transylvanicum) and eight species of the genus Pilosella (P. acrothyrsa, P. calodon, P. erythrochrista,P. flagellaris, P. heterodoxa, P. koernickeana, P. tubulata and P. ziziana) were detected for the first time in Burgenland. Seven species, mentioned in the botanical literature (H. clusii, H. saxatile, H. schmidtii, H. subramosum, P. dubia, P. onegensis, Schlagintweitia intybacea) are classified as wrong or dubious information. The name of H. brevifolium subsp. brachysteleon is validated, the name of H. pilosellinum subsp. purbachense is lectotypified. Six new combinations are made: H. rotundatum subsp. lancifolium, H. rotundatum subsp. leptocephaloides, H. rotundatum subsp. platyrhombum, H. rotundatum subsp. pleiophyllopsis, H. rotundatum subsp. praecurrens, H. rotundatum subsp. subserratifolium.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In the area around Molln (district Kirchdorf an der Krems) in Upper Austria, “Bergwiesn”, a private association with the objective of maintaining the cultivated landscape, takes care of more than 30 meadows in difficult and steep terrain. By annual mowing, they aim to keep the plots clear of encroachment and to remove nutrients. In the present study, 26 of those meadows were examined, in order to find out whether their vegetation matches that of nutrient-poor grassland on calcareous soil and whether the success of the maintenance measures can be statistically confirmed. Additionally, literature research was conducted on the feed quality of these meadows. The results show that more than a third of the plots match the vegetation of nutrient-poor grassland on calcareous soil, while the rest can be categorised as fertilised meadows. Yet, all meadows show key species of both vegetation types, and by continuous nutrient removal, fertilised meadows could be transformed into nutrient-poor grassland. Therefore, appropriate measures can contribute to the development of meagre meadows, which are particularly valuable in nature conservation terms. The statistical analysis yields no significant results. Looking at the feed value through conventional parameters, these meadows need to be given a rather low rating. Still, as an addition to conventional feed and for alternative uses (e.g. wellness purposes), hay from meagre meadows harbours some potential.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Euonymus latifolius in the Bohemian Massif – In the present study, scattered and mainly previously unpublished distribution data of Euonymus latifolius for the Bohemian Massif are aggregated and presented in tabular and graphical form. In Lower Austria, the otherwise pre- to perialpine distribution pattern extends northwards to the area of the Bohemian Massif, becomes isolated and represents the European northern range edge of autochthonous occurrences with an exposed range outpost in the Lower Austrian Freiwald region. So far there is evidence from 10 quadrants. Although siliceous growth sites are also colonized, the ecological assemblage remains species-typical and includes deciduous forests, but also copses. The discussion is mainly devoted to the topics of floristic status, cultivation and dispersal ecology. Contradictions in the reference material concerning range and status data are pointed out.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Larch pastures are use-stabilized features of alpine cultural landscapes, which are characterized by a two-layer structure made of a loose screen of European larch (Larix decidua) with pastures underneath. As a product of rural alpine farming, larch pastures are widespread in the traditional use systems on both siliceous and carbonate subsoils in the high montane-subalpine altitudinal zone of the Alps (cf. Mayer 1974; 31f.). The combination of geology and cultivation shows a remarkable floristic diversity, especially in the case of formations over carbonate substrates. Rationalizations within alpine farming since the decades after the Second World War - and again accelerating within the past 20 years - promote dynamic changes within the vegetation composition of many larch pastures. The paper reconstructs the vegetation dynamics on larch pastures on carbonate under the influence of decline in use and abandonment using examples in Totes Gebirge, Dachstein massif and Osterhorn group. Via the tabular comparison of phytosociological vegetation recordings from eleven alpine pastures that are currently managed at various levels of intensity or were abandoned at different times, the directions and stages of dynamics are traced and the development of the number of species is examined.]]></description>
