Květena - Krkonoš zvláště - před čtyřmi staletími

An attempt is made to analyse a floral work published by Caspar Schwenckfelt in 1600. This work allegedly deals with the territory of historical Silesia, but in fact it concerns mainly the surroundings of the Silesian town Jelenia Góra (formerly Hirschberg), and first of all both Silesian and Bohemian side ot the Krkonoše (Giant Mts). The ma-jority of plants reported here were more frequent then than in the recent time. Species not found in the territory later on are discussed.
