ABSTRACT. Epiphutic and epixylic bryophyte communities of Bashkiria were studied using Braun-Blanquet approach. The European system of high syntaxa is found to be acceptable for Bashkirian bryophytic vegetation. The presented system of epiphutic and epixylic vegetation of Bashkiria includes 2 classes, 3 orders and 6 alliances. Only one alliance has not been described in Europe. At the same time diagnostic species of higher syntaxa are poorly represented. Two associations, Plagiothecio-Pohlietum nutantis and Brachythecietum reflexi, have the intermediate position among European alliances. Nine associations is explained by the absence of many European species.
