Three new sites of <em>Orobanche arenaria</em> were discovered during floristic investigations in the Wyżyna Małopolska upland in central Poland. The new localities are concentrated in the Ponidzie area (Garb Pińczowski ridge and Niecka Połaniecka basin) and form the northern limit of the geographical range of <em>O. arenaria</em>. The paper presents information on the distribution of <em>Orobanche arenaria</em> in Poland, the abundance at the sites and habitats occupied by the species.

Abstract The present study reports new localities of four liverwort species, i.e., Fossombronia foveolata Lindb., Gymnocolea inflata (Huds.) Dumort., Leiomylia anomala (Hook.) J.J. Engel & Braggins and Odontoschisma denudatum (Mart.) Dumort., found in Central Poland. The new sites are situated in peat bog habitats and swamp forest in the depression cone of lignite opencast mine near Bełchatów in Central Poland. All of the reported species are very rare and have only few localities in Central Poland.

The species Diaptomus (Eodiaptomus) lumholtzi Sars and D. (Tropodiaptomus) australis (Kiefer) are redescribed and figured. Both species are recorded from numerous new localities in northern Australia. The southern limit of distribution of D. lumholtzi is discussed in relation to the northern limit of Boeckella. A single example of the coexistence of D. lumholtzi with Boeckella triarticulata, and three examples of coexistence of D. lumholtzi with Calamoecia are cited.

Abstract Stipa glareosa P. A. Smirn. (sect. Smirnovia Tzvel.) is reported for the first time from the Republic of Buryatia (Russia). Its stations are located at the northern limit of its general distribution range. The taxonomy, distribution and habitat preferences of the species are given, along with its population size at each new locality.

<em>Pilularia globulifera </em>is a subatlantic European fern threatened with extinction. In Poland, it reaches the eastern border of its continuous range. Up to the end of the 20th century, it was observed here in 21 stands; only 2 of them existed by the second half of the century, so the species was categorized as critically endangered. Five new locations have been found in western and northwestern Poland during the last 10 years. Abundant and permanent populations grow in 3 locations, while 2 stands were ephemeral. All the current stands are situated in anthropogenic habitats with spontaneous vegetation, in oligotrophic to eutrophic waters. One of the new localities is about 280 km distant from the eastern range of the limit known previously. <em>Pilularia </em>forms its own plant community <em>Pilularietum globuliferae</em>, enters plots of <em>Ranunculo-Juncetum bulbosi </em>and occurs in mesotrophic to eutrophic rushes of <em>Eleocharis palustris</em>, <em>Phragmites australis</em>, <em>Typha angustifolia </em>and <em>Equisetum fluviatile</em>. Specimens are vigorous and regularly produce sporocarps.

Abstract The genus Aneura is represented in Poland by two species - A. pinguis and A. maxima. A. pinguis in contrast to A. maxima is a complex of cryptic species temporarily named A. pinguis species: A, B, C, and E. All species of the A. pinguis complex and A. maxima differ in their geographic distribution and habitat preferences. A. pinguis species A grows mainly on humus over limestone rocks in the Western Carpathians, A. pinguis species B occurs mainly on clay soil in Bieszczady Mts. and in clayish areas of lowlands, A. pinguis species C grows both in lowlands and mountains and it occupies mostly wet sandy soils, on the shores of oligotrophic lakes and river and mountain stream banks, A. pinguis species E is connected with calcareous rocks in flowing water in mountains. A. maxima grows over the country - both in lowlands and mountains, in marshes situated on the river banks.

Abstract A new locality of Orobanche bohemica Čelak., one of the rarest representatives of the family Orobanchaceae in Central and South-Western Europe, is reported from Poland. This is the first confirmed record of the species in Poland. It is the easternmost site known for the species, so it extends its distribution range. The species was recorded in Zawiercie-Bzów in the Czȩstochowa Upland (Wyżyna Czȩstochowska) in July 2010. Its host, abundance, and habitat preferences at the new locality are described, and a supplemented map of its distribution in Europe and Poland is given. Its taxonomic position as well as some diagnostic features that distinguish O.bohemica from O.purpurea are also discussed.

The Polish localities of <i>Orobanche ramosa</i> L., branched broomrape, are either extinct or have not been confirmed for many years. This paper presents two new localities of <i>O. ramosa</i> in Poland from the Płaskowyż Proszowicki plateau (Wyżyna Małopolska upland) and the Nizina Nadwiślańska lowland (Kotlina Sandomierska basin). Habitat preferences and the abundance at the sites are described. A revised map of the distribution and a historical analysis of preferred hosts in Poland are included. The taxonomy, biology, ecology and control methods of <i>O. ramosa</i> are also discussed.

We provide information about two species, <em>Pilosella bauhinii</em> and <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em> (Asteraceae), from new localities in north-central Poland (ATPOL DC18). All individuals of both species grew on a railway embankment in Górzno-Lidzbark Landscape Park. The ecological preferences for <em>P. cymosa</em> and <em>P. bauhinii</em> estimated according to average Ellenberg values nearly coincided with the original description of Ellenberg. We also sequenced the barcode marker, plastid <em>trnH-psbA</em> intergenic spacer, for two individuals of <em>P. bauhinii</em>, three specimens of <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em>, and additionally two individuals of <em>P. officinarum</em> L. and one <em>H. murorum</em> L. growing in close proximity. A pairwise comparison of <em>trnH-psbA</em> sequences showed that each species has a unique haplotype. Taking into account their morphological coherence, it is possible that both <em>P. bauhinii</em> and <em>P. cymosa</em> have not hybridized yet, at least locally, with the more abundant species (e.g., <em>P. officinarum</em>). A search for reference sequences did not provide additional information because of the low quality of the reference database for this group in GenBank. Only 14 sequences of <em>trnH-psbA</em> were available with some apparently being misidentified or of low quality. None were identical to sequences of <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em> and <em>P. bauhinii</em> found in this study.

Several new localities of <i>Scleroderma areolatum</i> Ehrenb., <i>Disciseda bovista</i> (Klotzsch) P. Hennigs, <i>Mycenastrum corium</i> (Guersent ex Lam. et D.C.) Desv., and <i>Pisoiithus arhizus</i> (Pers.) Rausch., mostly in central Poland, are established. Maps of their distribution regarding all localities known till now in Poland are presented in the paper.
