Concept: [Genista umbellata] garrigues in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/F5.5564
Preferred label [Genista umbellata] garrigues
Definition Open scrub rich in dwarf shrubs and dominated by the large cushions of var. [umbellata] of the remarkable, taxonomically widely isolated, southern and southeastern Spanish endemic [Genista umbellata], in association with the also cushion-forming [Thymus capitatus], [Genista spartioides ssp. retamoides], another southern Spanish endemic, and [Phlomis purpurea ssp. almeriensis]. This formation, which presents physiognomic similarities with phryganas (unit 33), constitutes a transition between the arid brushes and the thermo-Mediterranean garrigues of section 32.27, in particular those formed by the only other population of [Genista umbellata ssp. equisetiformis]). Many of the accompanying dwarf shrubs, such as [Thymus glandulosus], [Satureja obovata], [Teucrium eriocephalum], however, are Iberian Southeast endemics or preferentials.
