Abstract: The arctic-alpine, glacial relict Cardaminopsis petraea (L.) Hiitonen (Northern Rockcress) is a very rare plant species in Hungary. The distribution of the species in the country is reviewed on the basis of herbarium and literature data. The currently known stands are characterised by coenological relevés and documentation of the cryptogam taxa in three major populations (Tapolca-Diszel: Csobánc, Gyenesdiás: Kömell, Balatongyörök: Bise-kő). In Hungary Cardaminopsis petraea survived on both dolomite and basalt bedrocks, mainly occurring on north facing stone walls and steep slopes.
