Description
In the course of a comprehensive revision of the syntaxonomy and nomenclature of the class Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941, it appeared necessary to resolve some nomenclatural issues in accordance with the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. In this article, we present five proposals and three requests for binding decisions. We also introduce the name Oenanthetalia aquaticae Hejný ex Landucci et al. ord. nov., the lectotypes of the names Phragmitetum australis Savich 1926 nom. corr., Typho-Scirpetum mucronati Tallon 1950, and Apion nodiflori Segal in Westhoff et Den Held 1969, and the neotypes of the names Oenantho aquaticae-Rorippetum amphibiae Lohmeyer 1950 and Scrophulario aquaticae-Apietum nodiflori Maas ex Segal in Westhoff et Den Held 1969.

Typus: Glycerio-Sparganietum neglecti W. Koch 1926 nom. dub. propos (Boer 1942: 240; holotypus)
(44) Nasturtio-Glycerietalia Pignatti 1953 nom. dub. propos.
