Popis: This paper presents the results of phytosociological research of tall-herbs vegetation from the East Carpathians Rank Calimani and Gurghiu Mountains. A total of five plant associations were analysed with the classification in the Petasition officinalis Sillinger 1933. The study area refers to plant communities dominated by Petasites sp. which occur along the river banks and on the fringe of forests in the montane belt. The paper is based on field researches during 2000–2014. A data set of 70 releves were analysed in term of flora composition and geomorphological features of the habitat. For analysis of the relationship between floristic composition and habitat variables the average non-weighted Ellenberg indicator values (for light, moisture, temperature, soil reaction, soil nutrient content) and the Shannon-Wiener indices of the releves were used.
