Abstract
The study containsa phytosociological analysis of alder swamps found in the Tengelic sand Ridge, an expanse of mostly windblown sand in the westernmost part of the Great hungarian Plain, west of the Danube River. These swamps oc-cur in the depressions among sand dunes, where the ground is covered with water for most part of the year. The species composition is characterized by the dominance of alder (Alnus glutinosa) in the forest canopy with the sporadic occurrence of common birch (Betula pendula). The stands also host several rare herbaceous species, some of which are considered relics in the Great Plain, such as Carex paniculata, C. pseudocyperus, Cirsium palustre, Dryopteris carthusiana, D. dilatata, D. expansa, Listera ovata, Thelypteris palustris, Urtica kioviensis, and Veratrum album.
