Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. IN MEMORIAM Artemiu Alexandru Artur Coman (1881 - 1972) Artemiu Alexandru Artur Coman was born on 15 April 1881 in Borşa, on the banks of the Vişeu River, bordered by the Maramureş, Rodnei and Tibleş Mountains, a corner of Romanian heaven of rare beauty, which certainly from a young age gave him a love for Nature, to which he dedicated his whole life with a generosity that has remained in our collective memory as a wonderful example. He went to primary and high school successively in Botiza, Sighetul-Marmaţiei and Iglo (Slovakia), and then began university studies also in Slovakia - after which experience he remained strongly attached to Slovakian colleagues, nature and culture. He was an industrious and talented student who held his teachers’ attention, creating for himself the opportunity to occupy the post of assistant at the Geobotany Department and later that of Botany (1908- 1912), at the Institute of Forestry and Mines of Banská Štiavnica. At that time he studied the flora of the mountains of Eastern Beskids, Tatra, Rodnei, Bârgăului, Ciucaş, etc. World War I meant that he returned home, but also marked the destruction of the herbarium of Slovakia, which made him to bury Romania’s herbarium much deeper into the Romanian soil during the Second World War, thus saving this one for posterity. Love for his birthplace, and his wish to work for nature which had so delighted his childhood and adolescence, made him decide not to accept to return to Slovakia as a lecturer, staying home as an outstanding forest engineer and topographer in the area of Vişeu. His years of school studies and later of work in an area of which he became a master were born a great volume of research works and papers. Artemiu Alexandru Artur Coman put his name to 25 specialized studies which stand at over 500 pages, most of which have as object of study the flora of the higher plants (vascular plants) of Maramureş. Issues addressed in these studies relate to: taxonomy, systematics, ecology, chorology, phytogeography, geobotany, teratology, ethnobotany, toponymy and environmental protection. To all these are added three major seed catalogues (1964, 1969, 1970) offered to the Botanic Garden of Iaşi, and herbaria with tens of thousands of examples of plants currently found in the major institutions in Bucharest, Vienna, Braşov, Cluj-Napoca, Iaşi, Sighetul-Marmaţiei, etc. Of particular importance is the Flora Romania Exsiccata in which are included hundreds of phytotaxonomic units of Maramureş, and the Inventory of Vascular Plants of Maramureş (1946), prestigious works including 1,270 vascular plant species. Through his research, the general vascular flora of Maramureş was enriched by 600 species. It should be noted that the herbarium of Artemiu Alexandru Artur Coman was used in drafting the monumental work "Flora R. S. R.”. Two of his major scientific contributions were named as special homages: namely Dianthus carthusianorum ssp. Florae-andercoianum, dedicated to his mother, and Cochlearia pyrenaica var. borzae dedicated to the eminent Romanian botanist Alexandru Borza. Not being a scientist imprisoned in the world scientific concerns, he consistently fought against the destruction of the spruce forests of the Romanian Carpathians by irrational cutting, fires and abusive grazing, and fought for the protection of forests and rare plants. He was one of the main protectors of the Pietrosul Mare Reservation. These were meritorious and exemplary acts as much then and they would be today …. His last explorations in the Maramureş area he loved so much, and which from the geobotanic point of view he said "indisputably belongs to the geographic space of Romania" (A. Coman, manuscript) were made at the venerable age of 90. The most representative botanical personality of Maramureş died aged 91, after 70 years of uninterrupted work, leaving behind more than anything, a worthy example to follow.
