THE SCUTELLARIO-OSTRYETUM IN THE TERRITORY OF UMBRIA. A phytosociological study has been carried out on the Ostrya carpinifolia wood formations in the territory of Umbria, where this vegetation is particularly developed in the hilly parts and along the foothills of the mountain relief. This vegetation on the basis of the examination of the table is attributed to the Scutellario-Ostryetum association already described for the Marche. Apart from the typical aspect of the vegetation, a variant with Buxus sempervirens that develops in the parts more exposed to the north has been observed.
