Abstract

The single recent stand of the strictly protected Campanula macrostachya Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd. from the Bükk Mts. is presented in this paper. This PonticPannonian-Balkanic element is rather scattered in the western and northern parts of its range and has been regarded in past decades as an “extinct” or “nonconfirmed” species in the Bükk Mountains. The occurrence of this species in this region was first documented as far back as 1910 by Gyula Prodán. The second and last occurrence was documented with a herbarium specimen by Rezső Soó in 1938. No proved occurrence had been known in the last seven decades from the region, until when in 2015 a new locality was found among orchards in a secondary steppe grassland in the Bükk foothills, close to the village of Szomolya. This contribution also includes a description of the habitat based on three phytosociological relevés, a photocopy of the voucher specimen and a line drawing of the species.
