title: [Study on the plant community of Fritillaria cirrhosa].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide scientific basis for natural cultivation of Fritillaria cirrhosa.
  
  
  METHODS
  The cluster analysis to the Bray--Curtis distance coefficient of community plot was carried out to divide the community types of F. cirrhosa.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The community of F. cirrhosa's natural cultivation can be divided into six types: Sibiraea angustata community, Rhododendron litangense community, Salix sclerophylla community, Dasiphora fruticosa + Spiraea alpina + S. myrtilloides community, Sabina pingii var. wilsonii community, Polygonum viviparum + P. sphaerostachyum community, and the ecological characteristics such as the composition of community and ecological distribution have been showed.
