Resumen
The review and updating of plant communities and vegetation series of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park and its peripheral protection area is presented. 132 associations belonging to 40 phytosociological classes, distributed in 9 vegetations groups are recognized: floating or rooted submerged aquatic vegetation; amphibious vegetation of fresh waters, springs and fens; perennial grassy lacustrine vegetation; chasmophytic, epiphytic and scree vegetation; anthropogenic, fringe and megaphorbic vegetation; supratimberline climatical zonal vegetation on cryophilous geliturbated soils; grassland and meadow vegetation; heathland, dwarf scrub and scrub vegetation; forest and woodland potential natural vegetation. 6 new associations are described, three of them in the Orotemperate High Guadarrama Country, corresponding to mire, fen and bog communities of small sedges and bryophytes and to a floating Utricularia community on small boggy pools; and the others with wider distribution in the Guadarrama Sierran District. The recognition of plant communities and their taxonomy is an essential tool for the management of this national Park
