arl02 | Felföldy (1941) used the term 'Szoc.' (obviously meaning 'sociation') for associations, and 'assz. csop.' ('association groups') for alliances. He chose those terms, because he wanted to express that the epiphyte syntaxa are a part of the vegetation. However, he stated that he was treating the epiphytic communities as independent associations. Furthermore, he applied the rank-indicating suffixes (-etum, -ion) for the associations and alliances respectively. In addition, many of his 'szoc.' and 'assz. csop.' are associations and alliances described by Ochsner (1928). Thus it can be concluded, that the units of Felföldy (1941) with the suffixes (-etum, -ion) correspond to associations and alliances of the thallophyte syntaxonomic system and are validly described in the sense of the ICPN Principle II. (H. Bültmann).
