In 2006, a rocky-pasture association Brachypodio- Cymbopogonetum hirti H-ić 1961 was discovered on Jelinjak hill near Trogir. The phytosociological analysis was made according to 25 vegetational records. The association is comprised of a relatively small number of grass elements. Permanent and dominant species stand out, including Brachypodium retusum and Hyparrhenia hirta. This association is limited within the eumediterranean and stenomediterranean vegetational zone, growing on a distinctly rocky bed with typical rocky ground soil (lithosol). Although there is a lack of intensive grazing, it becomes quickly overgrown with macchia, in this case dominated by Myrtus communis and Spartium junceum. This paper presents a comparison with the same association, formerly described on the nearby island of Čiovo.
