In Mount Paggeo these formations are dominated by Quercus coccifera as well as other trees and bush elements such as Acer monspessulanum, Carpinus orientalis,
Fraxinus ornus, Juniperus oxycedrus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Paliurus spinachristi, Phillyrea latifolia, Pistacia terebinthus and Rhamnus alaternus, growing usually in dry and poor soils at low elevations.
Antimicrobial effects of some hydroxycoumarins and secoiridoids from
Fraxinus ornus bark.
This woodland was composed of Quercus, Corylus, Tilia,
Fraxinus ornus, Fraxinus excelsior, Ulmus, Alnus, and Carpinus orientalis and accounted for [greater than]90% of the total pollen.
Relatives of the common ash include
Fraxinus ornus from Southern Europe and western Asia, and American white ash, Fraxinus americana, which grows in a range from Nova Scotia to Minnesota and south to Texas and Florida.
In many releves
Fraxinus ornus is present in many releves, making these alder groves different from those in the Lima Valley (Arrigoni & Papini, 2003) at higher elevations (900-1200 m) where Fraxinus excelsior is found.

However, both the grassy and woody vegetation of the central Apennines is easily distinguishable from the coenological and physiognomical impact of the amphi-Adriatic component which is due to the common paleoclimatical and paleobotanical events shared by the central Apennines and the Dynarids.The most common and physiognomically important amphi-Adriatic species in the central Apennines include there are Sesleria junci-folia, Carex kitaibeliana, Edrajanthus graminifolius, Globularia meridionalis, Drypis spinosa, Thymus striatus, Cytisus spinescens, Daphne oleoides, (etc.) for subalpine grasslands and shrublands and Carpinus orientalis, Ostrya carpinifolia,
Fraxinus ornus, Quercus cerris and Quercus frainetto for hilly and submontane woodlands.
