In this paper we describe the vegetation of Yura and its surroundings using the Braun-Blanquet
phytosociological method. As a result, we report 3 new associations (Equiseto gigantei-Escallonietum
angustifoliae, Pohlio longicollis-Rhodoscirpetum yurensis and Atriplici myriophyllae-Mesembryanthemetum
crystallini) and 3 new alliances (Muehlenbeckio fruticulosae-Helogynion stramineae, Polypogono
interrupti-Pohlion longicollis and Atriplici myriophyllae-Mesembryanthemion crystallini) of base-rich
saline environments. In addition, Lycio distichi-Helogynetum stramineae is presented as a corrected
name and the area of the Schino mollis-Prosopidetum calderensis association is extended to the NW. In
sum, nine plant communities have been observed, among which the Pohlio longicollis-Rhodoscirpetum
yurensis association is worth highlighting, as it presents a recently described Cyperaceae, associated
with a bryophyte possibly recorded for the first time in southern Peru at a much lower altitude than
known.
