pod06 | The name 'Hymenophyllion tunbrigensis Tüxen 1954' (recte: Hymenophyllion tunbrigensis Tx. in Tx. et Oberd. 1958) was validly published by Tüxen & Oberdorfer (1958: 245). However, in order to find the bibliographical reference to a validly published diagnosis of the ‘Irish association Hymenophylletum Br.-Bl. 1950 of the region of Killarney’ belonging to the alliance, one has to consider the description of the alliance in the context of the discussion on the association Blechno-Quercetum roboris on pages 238−244. The Hymenophyllion is explicitly mentioned as an appendix (‘Anhang’) of the latter. It is specifically indicated that the alliance 'Hymenophyllion' is related to the Dryopteris aemula subassociation discussed on pages 241−243. On p. 243, Tüxen and Oberdorfer referred to page 385 in Braun-Blanquet & Tüxen (1952) to a transitional relevé of the Blechno-Quercetum not belonging to the subassociation, followed, on p. 386 with the valid publication of the 'Hymenophylletum Br.-Bl. 1950' occurring in the region of Killarney (J.-P. Theurillat, L. Mucina). K. Dierssen suggests that this unit should be considered as representing a synusia in the Pruno hixae-Lauretea.
