asp14 | The question of the identity of this order as well as the floristically (and geographically) related Centaureo-Campanuletalia and Asplenietalia glandulosi was reviewed by Dimopoulos et al. (1997) and later analysed by Terzi & D'Amico (2008). Yet these authors did not provide a syntaxonomic scheme for the thermo-mesomediterranean chasmophytic vegetation of the Adriatic and the Ionian seaboards. Di Pietro & Wagensommer's (2008: Tab. 5) demonstrated the strong floristic differences between the Centaureo-Campanuletalia (central and northern Adriatic seaboards) and Onosmetalia (southern Adriatic and Ionian seaboards).
