Remarques

zos02 : Den Hartog (2003: 215) published the Nanozosterion and included the Zosteretum noltii Harmsen 1936 (sub 'Zosteretum nanae') in the original diagnosis of the alliance. In Harmsen (1936: 871), the name 'Zosteretum nanae' is a nomen nudum, with no relevés and no references to the published relevés. The name 'Nanozosterion Den Hartog 2003' lacks a sufficient diagnosis and therefore it is invalidly published (IPCN art. 2b). The Nanozosterion of Den Hartog (2003: 215) is, however, a convincing syntaxonomic concept and therefore I validate the name here by designating the Zosteretum nanae Pignatti 1953 as the holotypus (hoc loco) of the alliance. The latter association was typified (neotypus) by Giaccone et al. (1994). The Zosteretum nanae was validly published by Pignatii (1953: 86), using a one-species synoptic table. Zostera noltii Hornem. (= Nanozostera noltii (Hornem.) Tolm. & Posl.) is the character species of the Nanozosterion. (LM).
