Abstract

The Vargyas Gorge is situated in the northern part of the Persány Mountains (Eastern Carpathians in Romania), close to the village Homoródalmás (Mereşti) on the borders of two counties (Harghita and Covasna). The gorge, which is cut by the Vargyas brook into a Jurassic and Cretacic limestone mass, is about 3,5 km long and over 200m high in certain places, between the altitudes of 930 metres above sea level, with an average temperature of 7,4°C with annual precipitation of 1460 mm. Authors present an account of its flora based on literatures and on their collecting data. A detailed phytogeographical analysis will follow together with a vegetation description.
