Abstract
We present floristic data from 82 localities mainly from eight mountain ranges of the Romanian Carpathians (Fagaras, Parang, Cindrel, Harghita, Hasmas, Bihor, Maramures and Rodna). The main habitats investigated were subalpine and alpine communities, beech and spruce forests, and limestone areas at lower altitudes.
During four field expeditions, 364 lichenized and three lichenicolous fungi were recorded. Thirty-seven taxa are new for Romania.
Biatora subduplex, Helocarpon pulverulum, Lecanora filamentosa, L. flavoleprosa, Lecidea huxariensis, Leucocarpia biatorella, Myriospora dilatata, Pertusaria borealis, Placynthium dolichoterum, Reichlingia leopoldii, Rhizocarpon carpaticum and Vezdaea stipitata are new for southeastern Europe. Lecanora flowersiana is reported for the first time from Europe.
Candelariella commutata, Cetrelia chicitae, Lecanora cinereofusca, Leptogium hildenbrandii, Psoroma tenue var. borealis, Rinodina roscida and Usnea longissima are either phytogeographically remarkable or very rare taxa.
