The life form system of weeds for Hungarian conditions was prepared by Ujvárosi (1973).
Annuals (Th):
- T1: Species germinating in autumn and setting seed in spring
- T2: Species germinating in autumn and setting seed in early summer

- T4: Species germinating in spring and setting seed in autumn
HT: Biennials
Perennials:
Perennials with underground and aboveground overwintering stems:
- Ch: with a stem <30 cm
