ERGIN HAMZAOĞLU*, MUSTAFA AYDOĞDU¹, LATIF KURT² AND ARZU CANSARAN³

Abstract: Three plant communities in Central Anatolia are named, classified and briefly described. All the associations in the study area were attached to a new suballiance: Ebeno hirsutae-Thymenion leucostomi in the alliance Convolvulo holosericei-Ajugion salicifoliae Akman, Ketenoglu, Quézel & Demirörs (1984) belonging to the order Onobrychido armenae-Thymetalia leucostomi Akman, Ketenoglu & Quézel (1985) and the class Astragalo microcephali-Brometea tomentelli Quézel (1973). This suballiance is formed by steppe communities spreading on the calcareous soils between Cihanbeyli (Konya) and Çifteler (Eskisehir) located in the west part of Central Anatolia.
