Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe and classify the stands with a predominance of Cirsium candelabrum Griseb. (Asteraceae) for the first time in Croatia. The stands were investigated in south Croatian region of Dalmatia in 2015. In this study, the Picrido hieracioidis-Cirsietum candelabri Jasprica, Milović & Pandža 2015 is described and proposed as a new association, belonging to the Dauco carotae-Melilotion albi alliance, the Onopordetalia acanthii order and the Artemisietea vulgaris class. This association is developed along roadsides mostly on freshly filled deposits of construction waste. It occupies intensively sunny and extremely dry habitats. The syntaxonomy of the association is discussed and some comparison with the Cirsietum candelabri Matvejeva ex Čarni, Kostadinovski &
Matevski 2001 association from Republic of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is made.
