– cru04 The name 'Psammo-Koelerion Pign. 1953' in Pignatti (1952a) is a superfluous name of the Koelerion albescentis Tüxen 1937' [recte: Koelerion arenariae Tx. 1937 corr. Gutermann et Mucina 1993]. Indeed Pignatti (1952: 323) explicitly cited the name 'Psammo-Koelerion' as corresponding to the Koelerion albescentis Tüxen 1937 in a broad sense and the unique association of the original diagnosis of the Koelerion albescentis Tüxen 1937, the 'Tortuleto-Phleetum Br.-Bl. et De Leeuw (1936) Tx. 1937', was also included in the diagnosis of the Psammo-Koelerion together with three other associations. Pignatti's paper was published as a sequel to a series of papers published in 1952 (Archivio Botanico 28: 265-329) and in 1953 (Archivio Botanico 29: 1−25, 65−98, 129−174); the bibliographical reference to Tüxen (1937) is given on p. 173 of Archivio Botanico, volume 29. Since we established that there had not been any later, validly published and legitimate name for the Psammo-Koelerion Pignatti 1952, a new name, the Syntrichio-Lomelosion argenteae, was coined by Sburlino et al. (2014). (J.-P. Theurillat).
