Transcription
[[underlined]] 3 července, 1914, v pátek. [[/underlined]] Spent the day in the field with Dr. von Degen. We first went to Soroksár (Šorokšar), and walked to the Danube, and then had boat take us over to the Island of Csepel. This is an imperial game preserve, but Dr. von Degen has a permit to use it. It is a "sand - pusta", very similar to the larger and more distant sand pusta at Nagy Nyir ("Nádži Nýr"), but it has had some scotch pine [[insertion]] ^ and [[underlined]] Robinia pseudoacacia [[/underlined]] [[/insertion]] set out on it, and this of course changes it. Dr. von Degen wants seeds of [[underlined]] Helianthus [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Cuscuta [[/underlined]] [[end page]] [[start page]] 69. When we came to the Danube we found a heavy growth of tall coarse plants along the sandy slope up from shore to bank, & Dr. von Degen said this kind of formation is what the Russian botanists call [[underlined]] "burian" [[/underlined]]. Among the plants in this we noticed: [[list of plants in two columns]] [[first column]] Artemisia Plantago Arctium Rumex Convolvulus Eryngium Verbascum australia Oenothera biennis (in[[?]]) [[/first column]] [[second column]] Echium vulgare Leonurus cardiaca Onopordum? a[[?]] Hybrid; - Found snails here. Paldh[[?]] nigrum [[/second column]] We walked over (across bridge) to first island, and here saw many hydrophytes & some sand plants.
