Abstract
The distribution of the very rare and threatened species, Astragalus penduliflorus Lam., in the South-Eastern Carpathians is reviewed and mapped using herbarium materials and existing bibliographic sources. The species is scattered between 1,600 and 1,900 m a.s.l. on limestone rocks (in Rodna Mountains) and on conglomerates (in Bucegi Mountains). The populations are very small, usually comprising of a few plants. The paper reports the recent discovery of A. penduliflorus in a new location in South-Eastern Carpathians (Bucegi Mountains, Bucegi Natural Park, in Doamnele valley). A description of plant communities in which the species grows is also provided. The threat to them and conservation measures are discussed.
