Abstract

The paper presents validations of some syntaxon names of the saline vegetation of Eastern Europe (southern Russia and Kazakhstan), namely of the Carici dilutae–Juncion gerardii, Anabasio salsae–Artemision pauciflorae, Carici dilutae–Juncetum gerardii. The names of the Suaedion acuminatae, Climacoptero crassae–Suaedion acuminatae and the Suaedetum cuminatae are corrected because of erroneous selection of eponymous taxon names. We also suggest that the ‘Tamariceto–Salsolion australis’ nom. illeg. should be a synonym of the Euphorbion sequieranae.
