Abstract
This work describes the vegetation growing in the valley of the Verdiana Stream in the northern Apennines, near Pistoia, Tuscany. The plant communities are reviewed and analysed using a phytosociological methodology and referenced to the following classes: Montio-Cardaminetea, Asplenietea trichomanis, Galio-Urticetea, Mulgedio-Aconitetea, Nardetea strictae, Rhamno-Prunetea, Salici purpureae-Populetea nigrae and Querco-Fagetea. Several new taxa are described: Asplenio viridis-Cystopteridetum fragilis subass. saxifragetosum cuneifoliae subass. nova and Geranio nodosi-Loniceretum alpigenae ass. nova subass. loniceretosum alpigenae subass. nova and loniceretosum nigrae subass. nova. The study identifies five habitats of significant conservation interest (Directive 92/43 EEC).Downloads
