Lowland station of the Gentiana asclepiadea L. in Mikołow (Silesian Upland, S Poland)

Gentiana asclepiadea L. is a montane flowering plant species that has a very limited lowland distribution in Poland. The only existing lowland station that is known occurs in the Katowice-Muchowiec (Silesian Upland). In this paper a second station from the Silesian Upland in the Mikołów-Jamna area is described. A single cluster of rare albiflora form was observed within the newly discovered population. Information about the status and distribution of the Willow Gentian in Poland is also given.
