We have studied the flower composition and aspects of the fenologic behavior of flowering of some species of the existing woody scrubland in a coastal dune in the south of the lberian Peninsule. In the woody vegetation community in the Faro de Trafalgar dune flowering processes are developed the whole year, a maximum being observed in spring (March—April) that corresponds to the period of greater availability of resources and favorable climatology. A regression in the production of flowers is produced in the summer, through without getting to disappear, and then another maximum is reached in autumn, although of less magnitude and duration that in spring with time. In the winter months, many scrubs enter flowering, a fact that is frequent in other Mediterranean scrubland communities.
