ABSTRACT

The following paper brings the results of a 6-year observation of Allium
scorodoprasum population in Turzyn near Wyszków. The species is endangered
in Poland (category V) and in the area of South-Podlaska Lowland (category EN).
The station is situated in a deciduous forest, on a high slope of the Bug river
valley (area ca. 150 m²). In 2005, 2008 and 2011 the number and height
of generative and vegetative specimens were investigated. Generative individuals
in sunny places were significantly higher compared to vegetative ones. The difference
was also confirmed for a station in Siedlce. The effect of light on height of Allium
scorodoprasum individuals was also noted. In 2008, in overshadowed places
no blooming individuals were observed. The first blooming shoots were observed
in 2011, as a result of improvement of light conditions.

Key words: Allium scorodoprasum, distribution, morphology, central-eastern Poland.
