Description (English)
Open scrub, dominated by Genista lydia endemic to steep rocky slopes and screes, and also degraded forest, in the lowlands and foothills of the south-eastern Balkan Peninsula, on various soils but especially rich on limey substrates where calcicolous grassland species figure strongly among the associated flora.
