Remarques

kob06 : In part IV of the ‘Übersicht der Pflanzengesellschaft Rätiens’, Braun-Blanquet (1949c) published the name 'Oxytropido-Elynion Br.-Bl. 1948', containing only one association – the 'Elynetum (Brockmann-Jerosch) Br.-Bl. 1913' to which a proper reference was made in the protologue. However, the bibliographical references, gathered in part VI of the publication, were published as late as in 1950 (Braun-Blanquet 1950), and therefore the date of the valid publication of the name is 1950 and not 1949. In part IV in 1949, there is no citation of the name 'Elynion medioeuropaeum' and, although Braun-Blanquet refers explicitly to his 'Vegetations-Monographie der Ostpyrenäen (1948)' in the text, there is no effective bibliographical reference to Braun-Blanquet (1948) either directly in the text or in the bibliography published in 1950. As a result, the name 'Oxytropido-Elynion' cannot be considered as an explicit substitution of the illegitimate 'Elynion medioeuropaeum' by Braun-Blanquet (1948), and the correct citation of the name is Oxytropido-Elynion Br.-Bl. 1950.
