For tall grasslands of Carpathian avalanche troughs with dominantFestuca carpatica (orPoa nemoralis subsp.montana) a new alliance ofFestucion carpaticae has been established. AssociationFestucetum carpaticae
Domin 1925 has been introduced into the alliance, with some new localities supported by phytocenological relevés. A new subass.senecietosum nemorensis was described from a forest zone. The plant community with dominantFestuca carpatica of the Roumanian Carpathian Mts. has been separated into a new associationSeslerio rigidae-Festucetum carpaticae and further, a new association of the same areaSaxifrago heucherifolii-Poetum montanae is described. Synmorfological, synecological, syntaxonomical and synchorological characteristics of the associations are mentioned.

Sagittaria lancifolia L. a perennial helophyte growing in shallow waters has asexual reproduction by rhizomes and sexual reproduction by achenes. We studied the morphological characteristics of achenes related to its dispersion, some factors affecting its germination and the development stages and growth of seedlings. This species produces many achenes, and disperses through epizoochory and hydrochory. Achenes germinate on light only. 100% germination was obtained at 25°C. Under conditions of inundation the germination period decreases, and the percentage of germination in creases when compared to achenes with or without imbibition. Achenes in anaerobic conditions have reduced germination.
