Abstract
<em>Coronilla vaginalis</em> Lam., a Central European montane species, is reported for the first time from Poland, from the Tatra Mountains. A general map of the taxon’s distribution is given, and the location of the newly recorded stand is shown on a map of Poland and the Tatra National Park. Its habitat, calcareous grassland of the order <em>Seslerietalia</em>, is characterized in detail.
Highlights
The vascular plant flora of Poland is so well known that except for native microspecies and alien newcomers we do not expect to discover previously unknown indigenous representatives of this group
A general map of the taxon’s distribution is given, and the location of the newly recorded stand is shown on a map of Poland and the Tatra National Park
That was the case with the present find, in Tatra National Park, of Coronilla vaginalis, a species not reported from there or anywhere else in Poland
Summary
The vascular plant flora of Poland is so well known that except for native microspecies and alien newcomers we do not expect to discover previously unknown indigenous representatives of this group. Apart from Czerwone Wierchy range, undoubtedly the part of Tatra National Park most abounding with occurrence of such kinds of vascular plants [1] an area of the widely understood massif of the Kominiarski Wierch is significant. This is a place where another species of vascular plants, new for the flora of Poland were found, what is still enhancing this special position of listed area. This is why such aspects are discussed in the paper
