An in-depth analysis of the orophilous vegetation dominated by in Sicily, based on literature data and unpublished relevés, is presented. A total of 156 phytosociological relevés were processed and analyzed using classification and ordination methods. Overall, 151 vascular plant species were recorded, of which 38% were endemic species, with a dominant hemicryptophytic biological form (49%). Classification of the relevés, supported by ordination, showed two main vegetation groups: one including the communities of Mt. Madonie (- and -), and the other including the vegetation of Mt. Etna (- and - ass. nova). Furthermore, a new alliance, -, is proposed for Sicily.
