Goodyera repens inhabits mainly Scots pine-dominated and mixed forests. It also occurs in young monocultures of Scots pine with poorly developed undergrowth dominated by moss. Two localities of this species are currently described in the Częstochowa Upland, from the vicinity of Bystrzanowice (Fojcik 2005) and from Podlesice near Kroczyce (this study). At the described locality (Fig. 1), Goodyera repens occurs in Pinus sylvestris forest aged 85–110 years with an admixture of Populus tremula and Betula pendula. There is also patchy distributed renewal of Fagus sylvatica which in some places forms the lower floor of the canopy. There is also a rich undergrowth with rare flora elements typical for Scots pine forests: Orthilia secunda, Moneses uniflora, Pyrola chlorantha, Chimaphila umbellata, Monotropa hypopitys, as well as Lycopodium annotinum, L. clavatum and Diphasiastrum complanatum. The Scots pine forests common to the Częstochowa Upland suggest that there may be other locations of G. repens in this area, although this species has not been reported in studies of the flora of this region.
