The paper describes two new mesophilous communities of oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis) coppice from the northern Dinaric Alps in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). While oriental hornbeam is mainly considered to be a part of thermophilous forests and scrub, numerical analysis of 103 relevés of C. orientalis dominated coppice from B&H has shown that two new, rather mesophilous, communities thrive on calcareous bedrock of NW B&H. They represent secondary successional stages of mesotermic forest vegetation in this region. Association Epimedio alpini-Carpinetum orientalis ass. nova hoc loco is related to Illyrian oak-hornbeam forests of Erythronio-Carpinion betuli, while Asplenio scolopendrii-Carpinetum orientalis ass. nova hoc loco is linked to Balkan submediterranean ravine forests of Ostryo-Tilion. Although these two associations were recorded only in the NW B&H, their distribution is potentially larger, as their source communities are relatively common throughout the Dinaric Alps, so the information about their distribution, vertical structure, and syndynamic relations could be very useful in a national scale forest management and nature conservation.

U radu je prikazano 13 novih nalazišta crnjuše (Erica carnea L.) u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH). Prikupljeni susvi literaturni navodi za ovu vrstu u BiH i zajedno sa novim nalazištima prikazani na MGRS mreži kvadrataveličine 10x10 km. Podaci su prikazani posebno za svaki tip geološke podloge: dolomiti, serpentiniti,krečnjaci, silikati i posebno visokoplaninski karbonati. Prikazan je i raspon visina nalazišta za pojedinegrupe geoloških podloga. Pored novih nalazišta na dolomitnim i silikatnim staništima, u radu se skrećepažnja na nalazišta crnjuše u krečnjačkim kanjonima Vrbasa, Bistrice i Drine, što predstavlja i novostanište ove vrste u BiH, koje je u radu detaljnije opisano.
