The results of the floristic studies (Towpasz 1987b) carried out in theStrzyzow Foothills (West Carpathians, Southern Poland) were basis forthe phytogeographical characterization of the study area. A detailedanalysis of the flora and regularities in the distribution of selectedgroups of plant species has suggested a geobotanical division of thestudy area into two geobotanical units "Loess Section" and "FlyschSection". Comparison of the flora and plant communities of particularparts of the Carpathian Foothills revealed that the whole region belongto the West Carpathian Subdivision of the Carpathian Division. TheStrzyzow Foothills belong to the separate geobotanical unit: so-calledStrzyzow-Dynow Subdistrict of the Western Carpathian Foothills District.Comparison of the flora of the Strzyzow Foothills (Carpathians) and theKolbuszowa Plateau (Sadomierz Basis) enabled the demarcation of the boundary between the Central European Mountain Province and the CentralEuropean Lowland Province in this part of Poland.
