Abstract


Chamtorchis alpina (L.) Rich. is a rare high mountain species occurring in Poland exclusively in the Tatra Mts. Its distribution presented on the map and altitudinal range are based on the authors' own material collected in the field as well as on literature data supplemented by herbarium records. The orographic and edaphic factors as well as phytocoenoses in which the species occurs are characterised. Moreover, information on size of the Tatra populations is given and the threat category for Ch. alpina in Poland is discussed.
