- Abstract
The Orchidaceae Family is the most diversified and widespread higher plant family worldwide. In Romania, orchids are found from the coastal sandy dunes of the Black Sea, to the highest rocky cliffs at an altitude over 2000 m. They grow in any type of soil (from slightly acid to basic), covering the whole range of humidity, from the driest areas to the most humid marshes and swamps. Some of them are sun-loving species, growing in full sun, in short grasslands and meadows, while others are shadow-loving species, growing hidden in the middle of the darkest forests. The paper presents 39 orchid species (from 62 species found in Romanian Flora), which can be found also in Argeș county. One explanation for the large number of species in the Argeș county could be the diversity of habitats. The orchid species described in the paper will be ordered alphabetically, accompanied by the ecology, coenology and chorology in the Argeș county. It is very important to know the distribution of orchids in our country, because in this way changes in the ecosystems can be prevented, thus ensuring the survival and perpetuation of such rare and beautiful plants.
