Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

cyt02 | The name Violion messanensis (see Barbagallo et al. 1982) should be considered illegitimate since the eponymous taxon (Viola bertolonii subsp. messanensis) is a herb while the plant community is dominated by shrubs and dwarf shrubs. Here we follow Brullo & Furnari's (in Barbagallo et al. 1982) choice of the type for the aliance and designate the Centaureo-Adenocarpetum intermedii S. Brullo et Furnari in Barbagallo et al. 1982 as the holotypus (hoc loco) of the Violo messanensis-Adenocarpion intermedii. The character taxa of this new alliance include: Adenocarpus complicatus subsp. complicatus, Micromeria graeca subsp. tenuifolia, Polygala alpestris subsp. angelisii, Thymus longicaulis and Viola bertolonii subsp. messanensis. (L. Mucina).
