Jaakko Jalas & Juha Suominen (eds.) 1984: Proceedings of the VII meeting of the Committee for Mapping the Flora of Europe, August 23-24 1983, Helsinki. Norrlinia 2: 1-120. ISSN 0780-3214. ISBN 951-45-3464-6

The present volume is a compilation of documents and scientific papers presented at the VII meeting of the Committee for Mapping the Flora of Europe, held on 23 and 24 August at the Department of Botany, University of Helsinki. In addition, it contains some papers sent in by committee members who, regrettably, due to some last-minute obstacles, could not be present. We are also happy to be able to include a paper which, though outside the regular program of the meeting, is intimately connected with our work as a whole – “Some general remarks” on European mapping by J. Holub.
