Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

jun10 | An informal suggestion to consider this name as nomen ambiguum was presented by Rivas-Martínez et al. (2011: 202) but without detail for the argument. This proposal lacks substance since the concerned syntaxon was validly described and the only confusion might have originated from its occasional placement within the Thero-Salicornietea. (L. Mucina).

• Salicornio-Puccinellietalia maritimae Br.-Bl. et De Leeuw 1936 nom. invers. propos. (42) – jun11 The proposal to invert the name Puccinellio-Salicornietalia (as well as Puccinellio-Salicornion) is based on the fact that these communities are dominated by perennial herbs (including Puccinellia maritima), while Salicornia herbacea (recte: S. europaea) is found in the stands of these communities only occasionally and with low cover. The mutation of this name further recognizes the fact that the name Salicornia herbacea has been replaced by S. europaea in modern floras in the past 20 years. (L. Mucina).
