Quercion fruticosae Rothmaler 1954
lav03 | The name 'Frutici-Quercion' was published on p. 597 in Rothmaler (1954) where he classified two associations: the 'Frutici-Quercetum taganum' and the 'Frutici-Quercetum boivinii'; both were validly published (see the synoptic Table 1 in Rothmaler l.c.). However, the names of the associations and of the alliance have to be corrected as per ICPN art. 14 because there is no genus named 'Frutex'. Therefore, the validly published, corrected name for the alliance should read: Quercion fruticosae Rothmaler 1954. (J.-P. Theurillat).
