Other Site Characteristics

In the forest altitudinal levels of Mount Kyllini the Abies cephalonica forests occupy great areas, followed by Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana forests. The Flampouritsa gorge is crossed by the Sithos river and it is characterized by Abies cephalonica and Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana forests, hydrophilous facies of the montane conifer forests present Platanus orientalis, limestone rocky habitats and open-stripped grasslands in the higher altitudinal levels in the transition to the above the timberline vegetation. The medium altitudinal levels (600-800m) are characterized by remnant deciduous forest stands with Quercus pubescens and great areas of cultivated land.

4.2 Quality and importance

Mount Kyllini is characterized by a rich flora (ca. 1000 taxa) and a relatively high percentage of endemism of which some are exclusive endemics, some other are Peloponnisos endemics and many are Greek endemics distributed in more than one phytogeographical region. In the upper altitudinal levels (>= 1000-2376 m) an important concentration of endemic species is observed related to phytosociological isolation (1000-1500 m, 1500-2000 m, 2000-2376 m. Morover, a great diversity of habitat types is observed in the upper altitudes (above 1600 m). Most of the rare, endangered or vulnerable species are present more or less exclusively in the various plant communities. Species occurring in restricted habitats of the summits of Mount Kyllini are the following: Galium cyllenium, Erodium chrysanthum, Globularia stygia, Valeriana olenaea, Scrophularia myriophylla, Cynoglossum graecum, and Allium frigidum. The Flampouritsa gorge constitutes the only known locality in Mount Kyllini for the following species: Centaurea amplifolia and Verbascum daenzeri, as well as of the species Adonis cyllenea and Biebersteinia orphanidea, which are considered to be extinct from their locus classicus. The species included in sections 3.3 (Other Important Species) with Motivation D belong to the following categories:a) Balkan endemics: Poa thessala, Lilium chalcedonicum, Minuartia stellata, Acer heldreichi, Dianthus integer subsp. minutiflorus, Silene radicosa subsp.radicosa, Anthyllis vulneraria subsp. bulgarica, Centaurea amplifolia. b) Species distributed in the Balkan peninsula and Anatolia:Acantholimon echinus subsp.echinus, Anthemis cretica subsp. Cretica c) The remaining species present an interesting distribution range. Some of the above mentioned species are incorporated in one of the IUCN Red Data Book categories (WCMC 1993): Centaurea amplifolia (R), Solenanthus stamineus (E). Many non-bird vertebrate taxa which are significant for a number of reasons, have been recorded at this site. . Several amphibian, reptilian and mammalian taxa are listed in sections 3.3 as Other Important Taxa. Dryomys nitedula wingei, are threatened and included in the Greek Red Data Book (under the categories of "Endangered" and "Rare" respectively). Three taxa (the lizards Algyroides moreoticus and Podarcis erhardii livadiaca, and the fox Vulpes vulpes hellenica) are endemic to Greece. Most of these important taxa are listed in the Bern Convention (motivation C) and/or in the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981 (motivation D).
