Polytrichion piliferi Šmarda 1947
cer01 | Because the only association (Polytrichetum piliferi) of the alliance is an illegitimate homonym Marstaller (1993) rejected erroneously the name Polytrichion piliferi Šmarda 1947 also as an illegitimate name (ICPN art. 17). On the other hand, although Šmarda (1947) ranked his units as 'sociations' he nevertheless considered them at the same time as associations, as it is explicitly indicated in the English summary (p. 87). Therefore, the name Polytrichion piliferi Šmarda 1947 is validly published. (H. Bültmann).
