Abstract The Warmth Index of Kira was calculated for 36 meteorological stations in Italy and 18 stations in SW. Australia, both countries with mediterranean type climate. On the basis of a correlation with rainfall it appears possible to indicate distinct ecological spaces for most climatogenous vegetation types. A remarkable ecological parallelism between the natural vegetation in Italy and SW. Australia can be evidentiated; some particular features are discussed.
