Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

fru06 | The name 'Echinodio-Neckerion intermediae' has not been accepted by Sjögren (1978: 34) in considering it as "n.p." (nomen provisorium or 'not published'; Sjögren on p. 15 used "n.p." with expressis verbis provisional name 'Cololejeunea-Colurion n.p.', later he applied only the abbreviation 'n.p.'). Therefore, the name is invalidly published (ICPN 3b). Marstaller (1985: 351) validated incidentally Sjögren's name by designating diagnostic taxa and a type as 'Lectotypus: 1. Ass.' [recte: holotype], i.e. the first association numbered below for the alliance, namely the 'Echinodietum prolixi v. Hübschmann 1971'. The latter name is validly published and there is an unambiguous bibliographical reference to von Hübschmann (1971) in Marstaller (1985). As Sjögren (1978: 256) stated explicitly, Echinodium prolixum and Neckera intermedia are the name-giving species of the name 'Echinodio-Neckerion intermediae', the correct citation following ICPN Rec. 10C of the name validated by Marstaller is 'Echinodio prolixi-Neckerion intermediae Sjögren ex Marstaller 1985'. (H. Bültmann, J.-P. Theurillat).

• Dicranion scottiani Zippel 1998 (syntax.syn.)
• Echinodion prolixi Sjögren 1993 (5)
• Echinodion prolixi Sjögren 1997 nom. inval. ad interim – fru07 A retroactive change of the upcoming new version of the ICPN will allow a table of more than three relevés with presence/absence data as a sufficient diagnosis before 1.1.1979. Thus some associations of Sjögren (1975, 1978), which are now considered as invalid because their original diagnoses contain only relevés with presence/absence data, will then be validly published. The alliance 'Echinodion prolixi Sjögren 1993' (ICPN art. 5) will be validated in Sjögren (1997: 22) by listing only one association, the Echinodio prolixi-Lepidozietum cupressinae Sjögren 1978 (Sjögren 1978: 30-43, 62), which will become the nomenclatural type.
