Abstract
A species-rich flora consisting of about 350 species of vascular plants and 200 of bryophytes has developed in the Velká Kotlina cirque, as a result of biotope diversity and uninterrupted Postglacial evolution. A longlasting interaction of the species pool with a variety of habitats covering about 1 km2 has created numerous species-saturated communities whose structure reffects both biogeographical characters of the whole Sudeten Mountains, and local peculiarities in soil, microclimate and hydrology. In a set of 400 vegetation relevés altogether 29 associations, 15 alliances, 10 orders and 10 classes have been identified. Each of the 16 newly described associations and also 14 subassociations, is characterized by the appropriate original diagnosis and full enumeration of the nomenclatural type.
