Synonyms

• Anthyllido-Artemision campestris Sunding in Marker 1969 (3b)
• Anthyllido-Artemision campestris Sunding 1963 (1)
• Helianthemo-Globularion Br.-Bl. 1963 nom. dubium p.p. (37) – fes06 This name has been suggested for rejection as nomen dubium (see Dengler et al. 2003; Dengler & Löbel 2006). Braun-Blanquet (1963) described the Helianthemo-Globularion with only one association, the Phleo phleoidis-Veronicetum spicatae Br.-Bl. 1963. This association is considered a nomen dubium because due to the large plot size of all relevés of the original diagnosis, each contains a mosaic of the Filipendulo vulgaris-Helictotrichion pratensis (Festuco-Brometea) and the Tortello tortuosae-Sedion albi (Sedo-Scleranthetea or Koelerio-Corynephoretea, depending on the syntaxonomic interpretation of the latter two classes). In addition, the original relevés of the Phleo phleoidis-Veronicetum spicatae seem to be very incomplete (Krahulec et al. 1986; Dengler & Löbel in Dengler et al. 2003; Dengler & Löbel 2006). Following ICPN art. 37, an alliance of which the type association is considered to be nomen dubium is to be deemed nomen dubium as well, and hence invalid. Accordingly, the name Helianthemo-Globularion cannot be applied for any of the two alliances but has to be replaced by the next valid name instead. (J. Dengler, L. Mucina).
