of Pontic elements (Fig. 4), the best represented in<br />
the studied area are: the Pontic-Mediterranean<br />
(55.31%), Pontic-Balkan (17.02%), Pontic proper<br />
(10.63%), Pontic-Pannonian-Balkan (8.51%),<br />
Pontic-Pannonian (4.25%), Pontic-Caucasian and<br />
Pontic-Central-European (2.12% each). The arid<br />
climate in the area of these hills is favorable for the<br />
large number of species of southern origin<br />
(Mediterranean, Sub-Mediterranean, Balkan), that<br />
make up a percentage of 11.78%.<br />

Fig. 4. The spectrum of the Pontic elements<br />
Among the ecological categories connected to<br />
soil humidity (Fig. 5), we can remark the<br />
consi<strong>de</strong>rable percentage of xero-mesophile (57.3%)<br />
and xerophile (24.71%) species, components of the<br />
steppe meadows and of rock formation vegetation.<br />
The mesophile species (14.6%) are present<br />
especially in the forested area of the hills. The<br />
eurythermal species have a smaller percentage<br />
(2.8%).
