Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

thl15 | The name has been proposed by Moor (1958: 281−282) to replace the earlier name Myricarietalia Aichinger 1933 by arguing that Myricaria gale is rather a species of the willow scrub, not of the pioneer communities of the river banks along with Epilobium dodonaei, E. fleischeri and Chondrilla chondrilloides. Since (1) the name Myricarietalia Aichinger 1933 has never been used in the literature (see Tüxen 1973), (2) the name ‘Epilobietalia fleischeri’ is the name in current use that has been very consistently adopted, and (3) the type of the name Myricarietalia Aichinger 1933 is to be considered a nomen ambiguum (ICPN art. 36; see Remark thl19 on Salicion incanae Aichinger 1933), I propose to conserve the name Epilobietalia fleischeri Moor 1958 against the earlier name Myricarietalia Aichinger 1933. (J.-P. Theurillat).
