In this article we present the new species <italic>Crocus cobbii</italic> from the northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The definition of <italic>Crocus cobbii</italic> is based on molecular and detailed morphological findings, including the molecular examination and morphological revision of its four relatives, <italic>C. nudiflorus</italic>, <italic>C. clusii</italic>, <italic>C. salzmannii</italic>, and <italic>C. serotinus</italic>. An epitypfication for <italic>C. serotinus</italic> was done and a lectotype for <italic>C. nudiflorus</italic> designated. In addition, our molecular data assign the origin of the English <italic>C. nudiflorus</italic>, from which the plant was originally described, to the eastern Pyrenees.

As result of continued studies in various regions of the Alpes (Switzerland: Ct. Grisons, Ct. Valais, Ct. Ticino; Austria: Carinthia) 2 new species and 2 new subspecies of the genus <italic>Hieracium</italic> L. (Compositae) are described and illustrated. Their taxonomic relationships are discussed.

The survey deals with the position of the silver fir (<italic>Abies alba</italic>) within the mixed mountain forests of Upper Austria‘s Mühlviertel. With a focus at sea heights between 500 and 900 m, the Mühlviertel low mountain range is one of the core areas of the Central European fir area (cf. D<sc>unzendorfer</sc> 1988, W<sc>agner</sc> 1989). On the basis of an evaluation of existing plant-sociological recording material, supplemented by new recordings by the author, the sociological and local spectrum of the fir is worked out using a synthetic overview of the forest vegetation of the Mühlviertel and a systematic classification of the societies with the participation of Fir is made. It was possible to differentiate between six societies in which the fir tree appears, which can be assigned to three different syntaxonomic units at association level - the <italic>Fagion sylvaticae</italic>, the <italic>Dicrano-Pinion</italic> and the <italic>Abieti-Piceion</italic>. On the basis of characteristics of the structure of the stands as well as their distribution, it is shown that in addition to the natural and local conditions, a plenter-shaped management has a decisive influence on the occurrence of the fir. This is further investigated on the basis of a detailed study on farmed plenter forests, the so-called „Julbacher plenter forests“

In lower altitudes of Austria, <italic>Juniperus communis</italic> formations of habitat type 5130 of Annex I of the Habitats Directive are only very rarely preserved relicts of former extensive grazing and are nowadays largely forested or have disappeared for other reasons. Only seven currently existing Natura 2000 sites mention and protect this habitat in the total extent of less than 15 ha indicated nationwide, covering only a small fraction of the occurrences that are completely insufficiently known even 25 years after Austria‘s accession to the EU. FFH habitat type mapping carried out in recent years (in particular N<sc>adler</sc> &amp; H<sc>aug</sc> 2018b) shows that there is also a second, even more vital focus of type occurrences in the Alpine region, namely in the high montane to subalpine altitudinal zones with juniper in its low-growing high altitude form (Subspecies <italic>nana</italic> according to Austrian terminology). Although there have always been sufficient interpretation aids identifying these high altitude occurrences, they have so far not been taken into account in the reporting system according to Article 17 of the Habitats Directive nor in the designation of Natura 2000 protected areas for habitat type 5130. This overview is intended to highlight this problem and improve the level of information.
There is a need for official action with regard to the inclusion of LRT 5130 as a protected property in existing Natura 2000 sites, with regard to the designation of significantly larger areas in existing protected areas and with regard to Natura 2000 renominations to be made in high altitude areas; all this has to be connected with efforts to improve the conservation status of this protected property, which must be significantly intensified.
The most important causes of endangerment are the abandonment of grassland use and eutrophication, which accelerates the succession to forest, on the one hand, and large-scale clearing in the form of woodland and alpine pasture milling, on the other.

In August 2019 the plant pathogenic fungal species <italic>Phaeomycocentrospora cantuariensis</italic> was detected on living leaves of hemp (<italic>Cannabis sativa</italic>) in Upper Austria. This is the first report of this fungal species on <italic>Cannabis sativa</italic> for Austria and Europe as well as the second record on <italic>Cannabis sativa</italic> worldwide. In the following year 2020, leaf spots caused by <italic>Phaeomycocentrospora cantuariensis</italic> were also diagnosed on hemp in Burgenland, Lower Austria and Styria.
