New chorological data for flora of the Pannonian region of Serbia

The northern part of Serbia, known as Pannonian Serbia, is a lowland region. The autochthonous (indigenous) flora is classified as either steppe, forest-steppe, sand dune or salt flat. Most of the area has been developed agriculturally, thereby reducing the amount of land containing preserved habitats. The flora of this region was collected over a period of several years, supplying new data on the distribution of numerous plant species. The first data on the distribution of flora in Pannonian Serbia for Humulus scandens and Ophris scolopax subsp. Cornuta is presented in this study. The local regions cited were the first time precisely recorded regions were made after a period of over 100 years, for Cardamine impatiens, Monotropa hypopitys subsp. hypopitys, Ononis pusilla, Globularia punctata, Gymnadenia odoratissima and Carex brevicollis. The groups, Peucedanum carvifola and Galium tenuissimum, quite rare in the northern part of Serbia, were found at new localities. In order to present the data, the authors used the method of indirect mapping on UTM grid, with 10 x 10 km as the basic unit. This method is compatible with the edition Atlas Florae Europaeae.
