Description ( English )

Lentisc-dominated or lentisc-rich scrub and related formations with [Olea europaea var. sylvestris], [Pistacia lentiscus], [Rhamnus] spp. and [Rhamnus lycioides] subspecies, [Myrtus communis], [Rubia] spp., [Asparagus] spp., [Phillyrea] spp., [Osyris] spp., [Bupleurum] spp., various oaks ([Quercus ilex], [Quercus coccifera] and other species), [Calicotome] spp., [Laurus nobilis], [Helichrysum italicum] and other species widespread in the whole thermo-Mediterranean zone (except the arid Iberian Southeast: unit F5.55). A few extremely distinctive habitats formed by facies of these formations, distributed throughout large portions of their range, are separated under units F5.52-F5.54. Other characteristic habitats are classified as subunits of this unit according to the dominant species.
