“The

respectively.”
“Note.
The term interspecific hybrid, whenever used in the
Code, refers to a hybrid between species of the same genus”.

Upon presentation of
the report of the Committee for Hybrids,
the Section took the following actions
on the proposals concerned
with hybrids:
a) It was voted to retain all material on hybrids in Appendix I.
b) The report was referred to the Editorial Committee, except
1) The use of the phrase “collective epithet” in place of
“specific epithet” was approved – see
Art. 23 Prop. C.
2) The deletion of Rec. H.5A (per
Prop. A) was approved.
3)
The text in the report proposed as a substitute for
Art. H.5 Prop. E was accepted:
“An epithet
published before 1975
subordinate to the binary
name of a recognized hybrid
but at a rank other than that of
nothomorph is treated as if published
at the rank of nothomorph,
the name of the original author being cited,
followed by an
indication of the original status
(cf. Art. 50).
Example: Carduus
× orthocephalus Wallr. nm.
mulliganii Boivin (pro forma).”
A motion (Demaret) was accepted as to the following portion only
and referred to the Editorial Committee for cross-references:
“All particular rules for hybrids
and cultivated plants shall be
grouped in special appendices
with cross references in the
general articles concerned,
so that these rules are coherently
united in one place to avoid treatment in several places.”
The correct name of the Committee for Hybrids
should be given
in Div. III.
was referred to the Culture Section of the I.A.M.S.,
on advice
of the Committee for Algae.
