•
Prop. 5 by Fensome & Skog (Art. 11 Prop. G) and
Prop. 99a by Chaloner
& al. (Art. 11 Prop. A)
were replaced by a
compromise (Skog, on behalf of
an ad hoc group of palaeobotanists in attendance),
which was accepted, to
add a sentence at the end of
Art. 11.1,
and to add a new paragraph to Art. 11
(the two Examples of Prop. G
being referred to the Editorial Committee):
“[11.1. ...]
However,
the use of separate names for the form-taxa of fungi
and for morphotaxa of fossil plants
is allowed under Art. 3.4 and 59.5.
“11.1bis.
Fossil taxa may be treated as morphotaxa
which for
nomenclatural purposes comprise only those parts,
life-history stages or
preservational states represented
by the corresponding nomenclatural
types.
Names for morphotaxa, for purposes of priority,
compete only
with names based on a fossil type
representing that same part, life
history stage, or preservation state.”
•
Prop. 19 by Reveal (Art. 16 Prop. A)
was accepted as
amended (Demoulin)
by deletion of the parenthesis “(“typeless names”)”
in clause (b).
•
Prop. 23 by Reveal (Art. 16 Prop. E)
is to be
implemented in conformity with
the Rapporteurs’ suggestion:
(“in Art. 16.1(a), as newly worded by Prop. A,
to replace “adding a termination denoting their rank
to the genitive singular
stem of a generic name” by
“replacing
the termination -aceae
in a legitimate
name of an included family by the termination denoting their rank” [...]”.
•
Prop. 30 by Reveal (Art. 35 Prop. A)
was
replaced by the proposer by the
following, which was accepted as a new provision
[to be followed by three
examples, two as originally proposed, one additional]:
“35.2bis.
For suprageneric names published on or after 1 January 1908,
the use of one of the terminations
specified by Art. 17-19 and Rec. 16A
is accepted as an indication of the corresponding rank,
unless this (a)
would conflict with the explicitly
designated rank of the taxon (which
takes precedence) or (b)
would result in a rank sequence contrary to
Art. 5 (in which case Art. 33.5 applies).”
•
Prop. 42 by Veldkamp & Sosef (Art. 33 Prop. E)
was referred to the
Editorial Committee with
the understanding (Greuter)
that the last two
sentences of the proposed Example
be transformed into a Note defining the
term “isonym”.
•
Prop. 65 by Yatskievych & Wagner (Art. 46 Prop. D)
was accepted as
amended (Greuter),
the proposed new provision to become a Note,
it being
understood that the term “authorship”
when first used concerns the
publication but the second time, the included new names.
•
Prop. 66 by the Special Committee on lectotypification
(Art. 8 Prop. A)
was
accepted as
amended (Compère, Greuter), to
add “, disregarding admixtures”
at the end of the second sentence.
•
Prop. 80 by the Special Committee on lectotypification
(Art. 37 Prop. B)
was accepted as amended (Greuter) not to replace “specimen”
by
“gathering” but rather to add “gathering”.
•
Prop. 82 by Brummitt (Art. 9 Prop. L)
was accepted as amended, as
suggested by the Rapporteurs, to
incorporate the phrase “a single gathering
but” ahead of
“more than one specimen”.
•
Prop. 84 by Forman & Brummitt (Art. 8 Prop. D)
was dealt with in two
steps (as suggested by the Rapporteurs):
deletion of the phrase “, or if
such a name is without a type
specimen,”
[concerning subsequent type
designations] was accepted; deletion of the remaining provision
[concerning
the types of names of new taxa]
was rejected.
•
Prop. 97 and 98 by Chaloner & al. (Art. 1 Prop. B and A,
with the
Committee
for Fossil Plants advising against these)
were replaced by a
compromise
(Skog, on behalf of an ad hoc group of palaeobotanists in attendance),
which
was accepted, to amend Art. 3.4 and add a Note to
Art. 3:
“3.4.
As in the case of certain pleomorphic fungi,
the provisions of this
Code
authorise the publication and use of names of
morphotaxa.”
“Note n.
For the purpose of this
Code, a morphotaxon is defined as a
fossil taxon based on a particular form or structure,
life history stage,
or preservational state.”
•
Prop. 100 by Chaloner & al. (Art. 11 Prop. B)
was
accepted as
amended
(Skog, on behalf of an ad hoc group of palaeobotanists in attendance),
a compromise proposal
(supported by the Committee for Algae), to
replace “algae” in Art. 11.7
by “diatoms” or
“Bacillariophyceae”.
[ ]
•
Prop. 155 by Greuter (Rec. 32C Prop. A) was
accepted in the form as
suggested by the Rapporteurs, the Recommendation to be rephrased.
•
Prop. 172 by Trehane (Rec. 60E Prop. A):
as per the Rapporteurs’
suggestion (“it might be salvaged by [...] substituting
“correct” or “usual”
for “original” [...]”): rather than being deleted,
the Recommendation will
be editorially improved.
•
Prop. 195, 196, and 197 by Hawksworth
(Gen. Prop. Prop. I, J, and K),
were accepted as
amended (W.Anderson for Prop. I, J and Keil for Prop.
K). The terms
“homotypic synonym”,
“heterotypic synonym,
and
“replacement name”
to be added parenthetically after the current terms,
“nomenclatural synonym”, “taxonomic synonym”,
and “avowed
substitute”, respectively.
•
Prop. 210 by Hawksworth (Div. III Prop. A)
was accepted as
amended
(Stuessy): not, as proposed,
a new Permanent Committee to be listed in
Div. III.2, but
a Special Committee (6)
(to report to the XVII IBC).
•
Prop. 211a by Gams & al. (Art. 8 Prop. C)
was accepted as
amended (by
the proposers and Greuter) to become
a Note after
Art. 8.2,
the present
example to remain as a “non-voted” example:
“Note. n.
For fungi and algae, cultures,
if preserved in a metabolically
inactive state
(e.g. lyophilisation or deep-freezing), are acceptable as
types.”
Motions from the floor that were accepted
•
by Reveal, to delete
the
present footnote to Art. 14 Note 1 and instruct the
Editorial Committee to update and correct App. IIB,
and any relevant
Example, accordingly.
•
by Greuter,
to split both Art.
21.1 and
24.1
into two sentences by placing a
period after “epithet” and continuing:
“A connecting term [...] is used to
24.1
denote the rank.”
• by Gams, to add two new Recommendations to Art. 30:
“30Abis.n.
Authors are encouraged to publish new names and new
combinations in periodicals
that regularly publish taxonomic articles, or
to send a copy of their work
to the appropriate indexing centre(s).”
“30Ater.n.
Authors and editors are encouraged to list nomenclatural
novelties in the summary,
abstract or table of contents of the publication.”
•
by Turland,
to remove all registration provisions introduced by the XV
International Botanical Congress into the Code,
to name, Art.
32.1, last
sentence,
32.2, and
45.2.
•
by Gandhi,
to add a clarification to Art. 53.6,
perhaps by means of an
explanatory Note, to the effect that
“The
renamed homonym remains legitimate and has priority over the
nomen novum at the same rank
if a transfer to another genus is made.”
• by Zijlstra, to delete the word “generic” from Art. 60 Note 1.
•
by Nicolson,
to add
“-glochin”
in Art. 62.2 to the feminine word elements
listed under clause (b);
•
by the Committee for Algae,
to add
“-phykos (-phycos, -phycus)” in
Art. 62.2 to the masculine word elements
listed as exceptions under clause (c).
• by Trehane, to delete Art. H.3.3 & Note 2
