ResumoSummary It is pointed out the widness of the imposing beechtree-grove, which in assembly of vulcanic Cimini mountains of Latium, covers the area of M. Fogliano (963 metres) to a level slightly above lake of Vico (507 m.). It means largely underneath the normal inferior altimetric limit of the beechtree in the Apennines. It represents a climatic derelict of pluvial oceanic times, still in equilibrium with the local actual ambient characterized by frequent and heavy rains (one of the most rainy areas in Latium) and permanent humidity, due also becouse of the lower lake, and by relatively low medium temperatures. The above mentioned depression of the beechtree occurs in different areas of Latium. Other plants included in the beechtree-grove are wisley the same of those of Central (or Southern) Europe, testifying thearefore the derelict of ancient forest once larger, joined to the Medium Apennines, untill the "subatlantic" stage of the past glacial era. But it is remarcable the vegetative prevalence of Western oceanic components (as Narcissus pöeticus, etc.) and endemic plants (as Allium pendulinum, etc.) which perhaps mark a Tyrrenian facies of the Apenninian forest of beechtree. The beechtree-grove of M. Fogliano is lapped, but slightly interfered by usual "Mediterranean" vegetation only.
