  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: PRESENT STATUS OF THE SYRINGA JOSIKAEA JACQ. EX RCHB., AN ENDEMIC SPECIES WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE DIVERSITY OF THE FLORA OF THE CARPATHIANS

This paper presents the actual distribution of the Carpathian endemic vascular plant, Syringa josikaea Jacq.ex Rchb. in the Apuseni Mountains, Romania. In the less than 200 years from the description of the species in 1830 by Joseph Franz von Jacquin, some of the formerly extant populations have disappeared, and much of the remnant populations have been declined in number. We have managed to identify a quite large population (94 clones) in the Iad Valley (and its affluent, Serenad) and just a few specimens in the valleys of Henţ (3 specimens), Arieş (5 specimens) and Crişul Negru (5 specimens) rivers. The populations from the Drăgan, Someşul Cald and Crişul Repede rivers’ valleys have disappeared due to antropic factors. 

Keywords: chorology, relict endemic species, the Romanian Carpathians, Syringa josikaea
