Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the associations with Frittilaria meleagris populations, and to present the habitats in which are included. Plant community of two associations was attributed to Agrostio stoloniferae-Deschampsietum caespitosae Újvárosi 1947 and Frangulo-Salicetum cinereae Graebner et Hueck 1931. The phytocoenoses were identified at Valea, Grâușor and Dămieni localities, near Miercurea Nirajului. The qualitative characterization consisted of: spectrum of bioforms and geoelements, analysis of the ecological factors and genetic structure, calculation of altitudinal indices and diploid index. The associations provide shelter for species included in Bern Convention (Narcissus poeticus ssp. radiiflorus), Romanian Red List (Achillea ptarmica, Carex dioica, Fritillaria meleagris, Orchis laxiflora ssp. elegans, Orchis morio ssp. morio), Rare, endangered and endemic plants in Romania’s flora-Red list (Gladiolus imbricatus, Iris sibirica, etc.), and in the Carpathian List of Endangered Species (e.g Leucojum vernum).
