(en) A novel site of Cephalanthera damasonium in Northern Gaume. A new population of Cephalanthera damasonium (White helleborine) has been discovered and described near Muno in the Belgian Lorraine (I.F.B.L. L6.44.11). The vegetation belongs to the Querceto-Carpinetum aretosum and is quite different from the typical biotopes of C.damasonium in the Lorraine district. The site and its surroundings are characterized by a high diversity of rare, endangered and/or protected species (Actaea spicata, Centaurium erythraea, Neottia nidus-avis, Orobanche purpurea,...). Nowadays, C. damasonium must be considered to be quite rare in the Belgian Lorraine and additional surveys are needed to clarify its decline.
