1897 F. E. Clements in Amer. Naturalist 31 969 A common result of such a tension in the Stipa formation is to accentuate the size, and density of growth of the Stipa to such a degree that the formation is bordered along the road by a most conspicuous zone composed wholly of its own facies.

1907 F. E. Clements Plant Physiol. & Ecol. xi. 221 The dominant or controlling species of a formation are termed facies. These are, as a rule, the most abundant, or they make up in size or duration what they lack in number.

1920 F. E. Clements Plant Indicators 276 The grouping of consociations within the association is typical of all climaxes, and seems to warrant a special term... It has seemed desirable to definitize the term facies for seral groupings and to make a new word, faciation, for climax groupings... The two terms conform to the mutual relation seen in associes and association, consocies and consociation.

1932 G. D. Fuller & H. S. Conard tr. J. Braun-Blanquet Plant Sociol. ii. 25 The facies is distinguished wholly by differences in the quantity or distribution of species.

1938 J. E. Weaver & F. E. Clements Plant Ecol. (ed. 2) iv. 107 The facies..is the developmental unit of the associes characterized, as is the faciation of climax vegetation, by the grouping of dominants.

2002 B. K. Sen Gupta Mod. Foraminifera (rev. ed.) xix. 149/2 In surrounding habitats, the Ammobaculites facies is replaced by an Elphidium facies (seaward),..and a thecamoebian facies (upstream).
