Abstract
Morphological and coenological differences between closely related species Stellaria nemorum L. and S. montana PIERRAT are described. Stellaria montana is frequent in Slovenia and occurs mostly in the montane belt (altitude 600-1200 m). It has been recorded in thirty two forest communities (associations or lower syntaxa). Although widely distributed in Europe S. nemorum is more rare in Slovenia. It occurs mostly in upper-montane (altimontane) and subalpine belt (altitude 1200-1600 m) in ten forest or shrubby communities. Both, S. nemorum and S. montana are valuable diagnostic species for certain associations. They characterize sites with fresh soil, rich in nitrogen. As an example we present two syntaxa of beech forests of Slovenia, in which the species of the S. nemorum group have high constancy and cover value.
