Description
Evergreen sclerophyllous or lauriphyllous shrub vegetation, with a more or less closed canopy structure, and with few annuals, some geophytes and often scattered trees, some of which may be in shrub form. Unlike arborescent matorral, maquis is typically dominated by species that do not have the potential to grow into tall trees. In high maquis these may be Arbutus spp., Erica arborea, Erica scoparia, Juniperus oxycedrus, Phillyrea spp. In low maquis, Cistus spp., Erica spp., Genista spp., Lavandula spp. may predominate.

F5.24 - Niveau 4 : Maquis bas à Cistus
Description
Western Mediterranean formations of small or medium Cistus spp., most characteristic of the siliceous soils of the meso-Mediterranean zone, but also widely occurring in the thermo-Mediterranean zone and in the siliceous supra-Mediterranean zone. Formations dominated by different Cistus species are included as subunits, with the exception of: formations of mostly calciphile Cistus species (e.g. Cistus albidus, Cistus clusii) and of indifferent species accompanied by strongly calciphile floras are classified as unit F6.1; formations of entirely thermo-Mediterranean species (e.g. Cistus bourgaeanus, Cistus palhinhae, Cistus heterophyllus) and of widespread species associated with co-dominant thermo-Mediterranean species are classified as unit F5.5.
