This paper re-examines the Rhamno-Prunetea class in the centre and south of the Iberian Peninsula, especially
in Andalusia. The paper also deals with the alliances Pruno-Rubion ulmifolii Lonicero-Berberidion hispanicae in the
south of the Iberian Peninsula, and Berberidion vulgaris (Berberidenion seroi) in the area of Cuenca. Our analysis of
225 relevés arranged in 22 phytosociological tables helped us to re-organize the available information and subsequently
propose three associations and two subassociations: Clematido vitalbae-Rosetum micranthae nova; Berberido hispanicae-
Buxetum sempervirentis nova; Roso siculae-Berberidetum hispanicae Mota nova subas. prunetosum ramburii Mota
nova; Lonicero arboreae-Rhamnetum cathartici Martínez-Parras and Molero 1983 subas. prunetosum ranburii nova. As
a result of the study, a total of 18 syntaxa with the rank of association and four with the rank of subassociation are proposed
for the south of the Iberian Peninsula
