ABSTRACT
In floristic investigations carried out in 2014–2016 in the Góra Chełm Reserve, five
species of orchids were found (Cephalanthera longifolia, Platanthera bifolia, Listera ovata, Epipactis
helleborine, Dactylorhiza fuchsii) and three plant communities were distinguished, documented
in 20 phytosociological relevés. The number of orchids was highest in an unused quarry
in a community of the class Epilobietea angustifolii: C. longifolia (786 plants), Platanthera
bifolia (187), Listera ovata (16) and E. helleborine (4). In another community, riparian forest
Carici remotae-Fraxinetum, one specimen of D. fuchsii was recorded. Only five C. longifolia
individuals were found in the association Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum, which dominates in
the reserve.
