Abstract: The first report of Asterolinon linum-stellatum from Hungary is provided, based on a specimen that
was collected by Gyula Tauscher at Tarnaörs (North Hungary) in 1863, and its voucher was recently
found in the BP herbarium. There is little chance of erroneous labelling, or accidental introduction
of the species, thus the specimen most likely represents a small native outlying population
several hundred kilometres from the continuous distribution of the species. The natural habitats of
the Tarnaörs region had been completely destroyed over a hundred years ago and in lack of a subsequent
confirmation of the plant’s occurrence, the taxon should be treated as an extinct member
of the Hungarian flora.Keywords: vascular plants, new record, Great Hungarian Plain, Gyula Tauscher
