Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

sch04 | The name 'Caricetalia Davallianae ord. nova' (recte: Caricetalia davallianae) was validly published in Braun-Blanquet (1949b). The original diagnosis of the name contains the two alliances 'Caricion bicoloris-atrofuscae Nordhagen 1936' and 'Caricion davallianae Klika 1934' with no bibliographical reference to Nordhagen (‘1936’, recte: 1937) and Klika (1934). However, the two associations 'Caricetum Davallianae (Br.-Bl.) W. Koch 1926 em.' and 'Schoenetum nigricantis W. Koch 1926' were indicated to belong to the 'Caricion davallianae' and there is a bibliographical reference to Koch (1926), where the Schoenetum nigricantis was validly described and where the Caricetum davallianae was mentioned with the reference to Dutoit (1924). Therefore, technically, Braun-Blanquet published the 'Caricion davallianae Klika ex Braun-Blanquet' that is a later homonym of Klika's name. The date of the name is 1950 because the bibliographical references were published only in Braun-Blanquet (1950) (ICPN art. 6). Therefore, the 'Caricion davallianae Klika ex Braun-Blanquet 1950' being validly published, the 'Caricetalia davallianae Braun-Blanquet 1950' is also validly published as a consequence. However, with the name Caricetalia davallianae Braun-Blanquet 1950, being a later syntaxonomic synonym of the Tofieldietalia Soó 1949, it is proposed to conserve it against the earlier name as it has been much more widely used than the less known Tofieldietalia.

• Tofieldietalia Soó 1949 nom. ambig. rejic. propos. (36) – sch05 The name 'Tofieldietalia' was validly published in Soó (1949). The original diagnosis of the order contains the unique alliance 'Eriophorion latifolii' with two associations, such as the 'Schoenetum nigricantis transsilvanicum' and the 'Cariceto flavae-Eriophoretum'. Soó (l.c.) further commented that 'in the systematic review of the associations of Kolozsvár (AGH. VI, 10) I placed them in the Molinietalia' providing in this way a bibliographical reference to an original diagnosis for the associations ('AGH. VI, 10' stands for Acta Geobotanica Hungarica 6(1): 10). In von Soó (1947), both the 'Cariceto flavae-Eriophoretum Soó 1944' and the 'Schoenetum nigricantis transsilvanicum Soó 1946' contain sufficient diagnoses including lists of species with the indication of constancies. The name 'Eriophorion latifoliae Br.-Bl. et Tx.' is validly published in 1947 with only the 'Cariceto flavae-Eriophoretum Soó 1944' as an element of its original diagnosis. Therefore, the name Tofieldietalia Soó 1949 is validly published with the Eriophorion latifolii Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex von Soó 1947 to which 'Schoenetum nigricantis transsilvanicum Soó 1946' has been added in 1949 and the diagnosis of which in von Soó (1947) contains the eponymous species Tofieldia calyculata.
