New syntaxa from the west part of Central Anatolia

Abstract

Three plant communities in Central Anatolia are named, classified and briefly described. All the associations in the study area were attached to a new suballiance: Ebeno hirsutae-Thymenion leucostomi in the alliance Convolvulo holosericei-Ajugion salicifoliae Akman, Ketenoglu, Quezel & Demirors (1984) belonging to the order Onobrychido armenae-Thymetalia leucostomi Akman, Ketenoglu & Quezel (1985) and the class Astragalo microcephali-Brometea tomentelli Quezel (1973). This suballiance is formed by steppe communities spreading on the calcareous soils between Cihanbeyli (Konya) and Cifteler (Eskisehir) located in the west part of Central Anatolia.
