Ctenidion mollusci Ştefureac 1941
cte01 | Marstaller (2006) considered the association names in Ştefureac (1941) as dubious and, therefore, rejected the name Ctenidion mollusci based upon them (ICPN art. 38). We retain the latter name despite Ştefureac's relevés being complex, as many of these relevés do fall within the context of the Ctenidion associations. Marstaller (1983) lectotypified the Ctenidion Ştefureac 1941 using the name 'Tortello-Ctenidietum mollusci Stodiek 1937'. No such association exists, but the relevé Marstaller (l.c.) has chosen as the type of the association belongs to the illegitimate 'Encalypta contorta-Tortella tortuosa-Ctenidium molluscum-Assoziation'. (H. Bültmann).
