FLORA SAFARI, NATURE AND TRADITIONAL FOOD ROMANIA TOURS

This floral design is familiar to the Romanian naturalists as being that of Dianthus callizonus Schott, Nyman et Kotschy a subalpine calciphile local endemic from Piatra Craiului crest. However the plant in the image is Dianthus armeriastrum Wolfner a Balkan-Pannonian-Dacian species classified as 'sporadic' but which in fact becomes rarer and rarer. Encountered in mesoxeric grasslands from restricted areas it is frequently classified as a subspecies of the common species Dianthus armeria L. Photograph from upper Coves valley, Sibiu county by Alexandra Sandu, 12th of August 2011. A good photograph of the species also here .

A collection supervised by Babes-Bolyai University , Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering , Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

This collection consists of pictures taken by the holders of this site during their field trips but we wait also for other naturalists to send for publishing here their pictures under their authority, certainly. All the photographs have their author explicitely specified.

This is intended as a complement for the extant keybooks of the flora of Romania, in order to make the identification of a vascular plant even more reliable. We also wait for your observations in concerning any erroneous identification of the plants here present - alexandru@transsilvanica.com , +40723170236 (SMS only). The list of the plants is to be completed again and again and it will be a pleasant but also a hard work.

The ecological and chorological data for every species can be found in the technical cassette from the left part of each species page. In concerning the habitats characteristic for every plant they are recorded according to the Romanian nomenclature as in Donita, N., Popescu, A., Pauca-Comanescu, M., Mihailescu, S., Biris, I.A. (2005) - Habitats from Romania (in Romanjan) , Ed. Tehnica Silvica, Bucuresti , which is a non-commercial EU - funded book. For the correspondence between the Romanian classification and other European and International codes for habitats please refer to this book. For mentioning the vegetation syntaxa characteristic for the species presented we used the main extant synthetic books available in Romanian literature, mainly Sanda, V. (2002) - Coeno-structural Vademecum in concerning the vegetal cover from Romania (in Romanian) , Ed. Vergiliu, Bucuresti. Also in every technical cassette there is a link to Flora Europaea database for the latest nomenclatural treatments for each taxon . Please also make references to these links for all the synonyms, because they will not be displayed on the species pages from this site.

You can use any of the pictures herein freely in non-commercial purposes with the obligation to mention everytime the name of its author and its source explicitely, no matter the situation. Common sense should be applied in every context depending on the education and menthality of everyone. Most of the photographs are at a standard resolution of 800 X 600 pixels but most are also available at a much higher resolution (5 megapixels or higher). Ask for such images if you need by using the email address or the phone above provided and we will deliver them to you as soon as possible free of charge.

On this page only original photographs of the holders of this site will be published . In no way the pages of the species will be completed with images from elsewhere on the internet but as links. Also original photographs of any other authors will be published here under their permission or request with the specific mentioning of their names . The pages can be completed with scientific papers provided as .pdf files and scanned monochromatic images only when such a material is utterly necessary or suggestive in the context.

Our ambition is that in approximate five years, helped also by other enthusiastic people - to have a quite complete collection.

Like the old and classic Florae Exsiccatae the species of the Flora of Romania will be published in Centuriae (bunches of one hundred species). The Centuriae I-III were published at once in the begining in between 15th of August and 15th of September 2009 in the reason to give a consistent starting of approximately 10% of the species present on our national territory. We are now currently deliver the species of Centuria XII.
