Die Quellflur-Gesellschaft des Cratoneuro-Arabidetum bellidifoliae (Koch 1928) in der subalpinen Stufe Graubündens

Summary Two subassociations of the Cratoneuro-Arabidetum bellidifoliae from the subalpine belt in Graubünden (Switzerland) are described for the first time. The association occurs along springs with running, base-rich water and is usually bordering the equally basiphilous Caricetum davallianae. The association also occurs in the Pyrenees. Synsystematically it is related to a Cortusa Matthioli—Crepis paludosa association, occurring as an endemic community in the Lower Engadin.The two subassociations are cratoneuretosum commutati and cratoneuretosum falcati, characterized by the dominance of Cratoneurum commutatum and C. falcatum, respectively.
