Calluno-Vaccinietea myrtilli de Foucault 1991
(29)
– loi02 According to the list of References, de Foucault (1991: 173) was aware of the Schubert's (1960) work, where the latter author validated the Loiseleurio procumbentis-Vaccinietea and also described the Empetretalia hermaphroditi. Since the latter order was assigned as the typus of the 'Calluno-Vaccinietea myrtilli', this class name became a nomen superfluum of the Loiseleurio procumbentis-Vaccinietea. (L. Mucina).
