Salicornion prostratae Géhu 1992

Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

the06 | The use of the name Salicornia prostrata (see Adler et al. 2004; Fischer et al. 2005) suggests that this taxonomic concept is conceptually synonymous with Salicornia perennans Willd. (Kadereit et al. 2012). S. prostrata is an illegitimate name (Kadereit et al. 2012). If/when the Salicornion herbaceae Soó 1933 is recognised as a nomen ambiguum, this name will become the oldest valid current name for this syntaxonomic contents. (L. Mucina).

Synonyms

• Salicornion herbaceae Soó 1933 nom. ambig. rejic. propos. (36) – the07 Salicornia herbacea L. is a nomen illegitimum is considered to be a heterotypic synonym of Salicornia europaea L. The taxonomic understanding of S. europaea is subject to various interpretations. The name Salicornia prostrata was used to name the Salicornia taxon in Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic (see for instance Géhu 1992; Šumberová in Chytrý 2007). The latest taxonomic and nomenclatural studies (Kadereit et al. 2007, 2012) have shown that most of the inland Salicornia populations of the Eastern Europe should be classified as Salicornia perennans. The oldest name for this alliance is the 'Salicornion herbaceae Soó 1933', which could be mutated into the 'Salicornion europaeae Soó 1933'. This step would however, create major confusion because of the identical taxon names used before this for different syntaxa. Because the Salicornia europaea L. is taxonomically considered as a different taxon to S. perennans Willd. (Kadereit et al. 2012), we suggest (supported by Šumberová in Chytrý 2007: 145) that the name Salicornion herbaceae Soó 1933 be rejected as nomen ambiguum. (L. Mucina).

• Thero-Suaedion Vicherek 1973 (31) – the08 Although the name Thero-Suaedion Vicherek 1973 was validly published, it cannot be used as the current name for the syntaxonomic concept originally called 'Salicornion herbaceae Soó 1933' (in case that both alliances are considered syntaxonomically identical). The Thero-Suaedion Vicherek 1973 is a later homonym of the Thero-Suaedion Br.-Bl. in Br.-Bl. et al. 1952 and a syntaxonomic synonym of the Thero-Salicornion. (L. Mucina).
