Phenomorphological behauviour of a badlands community in the southwest ot Iberian Peninsula, is described in this work. An analysis based on the study of phenological phases for persisting species was carried out. Data for starting and maintenance of phenophases were taken for each species ( flower buds formation (PF), flowering (FL), fruit setting (FR), seed dispersal (DS), brachyblast vegetative growth (CVB), dolicoblast vegetative growth (CVD), leaf shedding brachyblast (CHB) and leaf shedding dolicoblast (Cl-ID)) More favourable or unfavourable seasons for biological cycle of the community species and the relation among phenological phases and local climate were characterized. As outcome, the studied community shows a multiseasonal phenological pattern. Spring and summer are the seasons where the greater part ot the phenological changes occur.
