Synonyms

• Aphyllanthion
• Aphyllanthion (36) – mol23 The nomenclatural problem surrounding the name 'Aphyllanthion' is intricate and has been handled in detail by Díez et al. (1998: 340-341) who documented that the type association of the Aphyllanthion (Prunello hyssopifoliae-Deschampsietum mediae Br.-Bl. et Pawłowski 1931) has been incorporated as early as in 1947 (Braun-Blanquet et al. 1947; see also Braun-Blanquet et al. 1952) into the Deschampsion mediae and remained linked to that name ever since. This de facto means that the valid name of the 'Deschampsion mediae Br.-Bl., Roussine et Nègre 1952' should read 'Aphyllanthion Br.-Bl. et Pawłowski 1931' which causes nomenclature instability resulting from wrong application of the name Aphyllanthion in the sense of its original diagnosis. Therefore Díez et al. (l.c.) as well as Rivas-Martínez et al. 2002a: 292) proposed to reject the name 'Aphyllanthion Br.-Bl. et Pawłowski 1931' as nomen ambiguum. In the line also the name 'Aphyllanthion Br.-Bl. in Br.-Bl., Roussine et Nègre 1952' should be rejected as nomen ambiguum. (L. Mucina).
• Aphyllanthion (36) – mol24 Lectotypification of this name by Rivas-Martínez et al. (2011: 298) does not solve the nomenclatural conundrum since few lines below in the same publication the name 'Aphyllanthion Br.-Bl. In Br.-Bl., Roussine et Nègre 1952’ is suggested to be handled as nomen ambiguum according to the ICPN art. 36. (L. Mucina).
• Aphyllanthion (2b)
• Deschampsio mediae-Molinion arundinaceae (3b)
