Abstract
In 1918 the small area of woodland, Dalby Söderskog, in southwestern Skåne was designated as a national park. It was regarded as ‘the only remaining representative of the type of deciduous forest, that during periods long ago commonly occurred in the southernmost province of our country’ (translation from Lindquist 1938, p. 61).
Nomenclature of species follows Lid (1974). Viola riviniana includes V. reichenbachiana as it was impossible to keep the two species separated throughout.
The investigation was sponsored by the Research Council of the Swedish Environmental Board. Most of the text in this paper was prepared by the senior author as a lecture presented at the Symposium on Plant species and plant communities held at Nijmegen on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Professor Victor Westhoff.
Lennart Lindgren and Stefan Persson were responsible for the project in 1969–1970 and 1975–1976, respectively. They compiled all the material from these investigations. Skilful assistance was given by Brita Billstein, Mimmi Varga and Tommy Wikberg
