Analyse phytosociologique et phytoécologique des formations forestières à pin laricio de Corse (Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold subsp. laricio Maire) – Addendum / Phytosociological and phytoecological survey of Corsican Pine forests – Addendum

Abstract

In Ecologia Mediterranea issue 45 (1) – 2019, we published a phytosociological review article on the formations of Corsican Pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold subsp. laricio Maire) (Gauberville et al. 2019). Since then, we found out that we did not scrupulously followed the code of phytosociological nomenclature (Weber et al. 2000). We had made a proposal for a new name for the climatophile mountain association, as Pinus poiretianae is now called Pinus laricio, and the old species name had not been used for more than 20 years. We now propose to reinstate the name initially given by Litardière & Malcuit (1929). Our name proposal was and is still correct (Pinetum laricionis (from Litardière & Malcuit 1926) Gauberville, Panaïotis, Bioret & Capelo nom. nov. prop.) but until the ad hoc committee has formally accepted it, the name should remain Pinetum poiretianae (from Litardière & Malcuit 1926). Furthermore, in order to validate our new syntaxons we here publish their typus relevés.
