(1988), pero la presencia en esta de Myosoton aquaticum y Persicaria mitis (= Polygonum mite) ademas de su carencia de Persicaria hydropiper o Cyperus eragrostis entre otras, ponen en evidencia su consideracion como diferente asociacion.
Los proponentes de tal interpretacion (KIESSLICH & al., 2003) incluyen una tabla de inventarios procedentes del nordeste de Alemania que reunen diversas muestras que subordinan a esa Polygonetum hydropiperis y en las que destacan tres "formaciones" distinguibles dentro de la misma "asociacion-central": una formacion dominada por Bidens frondosa, otra por Persicaria hydropiper y una tercera con dominio compartido por ambas especies.
Todas estas casuisticas tienen en comun el reflejar comunidades de Bidention tripartitae descritas de centroeuropa (Alemania basicamente) que coinciden en: 1) integrar Persicaria hydropiper como un componente floristico permanente y casi siempre dominante, 2) incluir de forma generalizada a Bidens tripartita y, en menor proporcion, a Bidens frondosa, 3) participar diversamente en ellas otras especies de Persicaria (como P.
connata), se mantiene alguna de importante presencia que se identifica con esta alianza: Persicaria hydropiper.
