The paper demonstrates the flora, plant communities and substrates of an old solvay process spoil tip. The flora is characterized by the preponderance of Asteraceae - species and long-lived perennial herbs, many of them coming from meadows and grasslands. The results could be interpreted to suggest that processes of soil development and plant succession are slow but nevertheless perceptible, with implications for future loss of diversity. The results also suggest that the vegetation of the site is of considerable value for nature conservation
