We propose to complete two association names of the class Isoeto-Nanojuncetea by selecting the name-giving taxa according to Art. 40 of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature.
Taxonomic reference:
binding decision, Isoeto-Nanojuncetea, nomenclature, phytosociology
Original form of the name: Isoeto-Cicendietum
Syn.: Isoeto velatae-Cicendietum Br.-Bl. 1967 nom. inept. (Art. 44)
Typus:
Braun-Blanquet did not indicate from which of the two Cicendia species present in the original diagnosis the association name was formed, C. filiformis or C. pusilla (= Exaculum pusillum;
Original form of the name: Verbeno-Gnaphalietum
Syn.: “com. prov. Gnaphalium luteo-album-Verbena supina” Rivas Goday 1956 (Art. 3b, 3c)
Typus:
The provisional community “Gnaphalium luteo-album-Verbena supina” was published by Rivas Goday in
In the type relevé, Verbena supina has a cover-abundance value of 2, whereas G. luteoalbum has a 1 and G. uliginosum a +. Therefore, the name ‘Verbeno-Gnaphalietum’ must be inverted (Arts. 10b and 42,
