Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica 200 years
Vol. 98 No. Supplement 2 (2022)In honor of the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica, a fundraising was organized to acquire an old Finnish forest for protection in collaboration with the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation. The landscape in Laipansalo is particularly beautiful, and its forest retains a strong feeling of an old-growth forest in its natural state. The long shoreline of the small lake hidden in the forest is especially charming. As a conservation area, the natural state of the wild forest will increase over the coming decades, and the habitats will become more and more suitable for species that live in old-growth forests.

Florula Nåtöensis – an annotated checklist
Vol. 98 No. Supplement 1 (2022)The island of Nåtö, located about 7–8 kilometres south of the town of Mariehamn in the Åland Islands, SW Finland, is probably the most species rich spot regarding indigenous vascular plants in Finland. Studies of the wooded meadows of Nåtö were initiated by Alvar Palmgren in the early 20th century and continued by the author CAH from 1964 onwards with the Nåtö Biological Station as the base. The vascular plant flora of several parts of the Nåtö – Jungfruskär Nature Reserve were studied by both authors from the late 1960s onwards. This paper gives a short description of the Nåtö area and its main vegetation features. The main part is a list of all known observations, information in the literature and voucher specimens in herbaria of the vascular plants of this area.
