fes22 | Bardat et al. (2004) classified this order in the 'Thero-Brachypodietea ramosi'. (L. Mucina) According to Royer (1991: 16) this order belongs to the 'Thero-Brachypodietea' because it is only weakly linked to the Festuco-Brometea. Julve (1993), on the other hand, suggested the classification of this order within the Dactylido hispanicae-Brachypodietea retusi. (J.-P. Theurillat).
