Medio-European upland siliceous screes
Description (English)
Siliceous screes of hills of western and central Europe, with Epilobium collinum, Galeopsis segetum, Senecio viscosus, Anarrhinum bellidifolium, Cryptogramma crispa. Upland siliceous screes, often resulting from quarry activity, and colonised by very impoverished forms of the Alpine communities, usually rich in mosses, lichens and sometimes ferns, notably Cryptogramma crispa, are included, but should not be taken into account.
