| Summary: | The thematic area provided, it is part of Oltenia region of Romania and it is a very important area by point of view geographically, flora and fauna, landscape, cultural and course economic. The overall objective of this research was to contribute to a better kmowledge of the phytosociology, ecology and distribution of plant community edified by the glasswort - Salicornia europaea L. This species is one of the native halophytic plants of our country that widely spread in salt areas. S. europaea is found around much of the coastline of Europe from the Arctic to the Mediterranean, as well as on the shores of both the Black Sea and Caspian Sea and it is also present sporadically where inland salines occur across Europe. S. europaea has been prescribed in traditional medicines for the treatment of intestinal ailments, nephropathy, and hepatitis in Oriental countries. In addition, S. europaea has recently reported to be effective on the atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. In the analysed phytocoenoses S. europaea was dominant, as the species is finding in this area favourable as the species is finding in this area favourable ecological conditions for an abundance development. This species edified the following plant communities: Salicornietum europaeae Wendelbg. 1953; Puccinelietum distantis Sóo 1937; Suaedeto-Kochietum hirsutae (Br.-Bl. 1928) Ţopa 1939. The plant communities with glasswort have been analyzed and characterized from the chorological, ecological point of views. This plant communities from an area and at the same time their description and analysis from the ecological, chorological, syntaxonomical and syndinamical perspectives presents a great importance from the scientific and practical point of view.
