A proposal from the floor (McNeill)
was accepted to add a
new clause (c),
a footnote, and an Example to
Art. 54.1:
“(c)
A name of a taxon treated as belonging to the algae
or fungi but originally assigned to a group
not covered
by this Code and that is unavailable for use
under the
provisions of the other
Code¹, usually because of
homonymy, is illegitimate under this Code.”
[footnote] “1 Such names are termed
”objectively invalid”
in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
and
“illegitimate” in the
International Code of Nomenclature of
Prokaryotes (formerly the
International Code of Nomenclature
of Bacteria).”
“Ex. 1.
Cribrosphaerella Deflandre ex Gorka
(in Acta Palaeontol.
Polon. 2: 239, 260, 280. 5 Sep 1957)
was published under the
provisions of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
for
the Cretaceous coccolith algae, previously known as
Cribrosphaera
Arkhang. (in Mater. Geol. Rossii 25: 411. 1912), an objectively
invalid (equivalent to illegitimate) name under that
Code, being a
later homonym of Cribrosphaera Popofsky
(in Ergebn. Plankton-
Exped. 3(L.f.ß): 22, 32, 63. 1906) a genus of Radiolaria.
Although
Cribrosphaera Arkhang.
is not a later homonym under this
Code, it
is illegitimate as it is not available for use
according to the
provisions of the
Code under which it was published; consequently
Cribrosphaerella is the correct name
for the genus under both
Codes.”
A suggestion that the new clause (c) be incorporated into
Art. 54.1(b) could be considered by the Editorial Committee
(new text in bold):
“(b)
[...] is illegitimate if it
(i) becomes [...] or (ii) is
unavailable for use under the provisions of the other
Code¹, usually because of homonymy.”

“(8)
Registration Committee, charged with assisting
the design and implementation of repositories
for new names and nomenclatural acts,
monitoring the functioning of existing repositories,
and advising the General Committee on relevant
matters. The Committee has the power to elect
officers as desired, to fill vacancies, and to
establish temporary subcommittees in consultation
with the General Committee, and includes at least
5 members appointed by the Nomenclature Section
selected, in part, to ensure geographic balance, and
representatives nominated by:
(1) the other Permanent Nomenclature Committees,
(2) prospective or functioning repositories,
(3) the International Association for Plant Taxonomy,
(4) the International Organisation of Palaeobotany,
(5) the International Federation of Palynological Societies,

| Div. III - Prop. B | – 286 – Sp.C. by-laws | gen.c.: var. |
was accepted as amended, as follows:
in paragraph 2.4
(McNeill),
replace “specialist committees”
by “Permanent Nomenclature Committees”
in paragraph 4.11
(Bureau of Nomenclature),
to replace
“must” by “should preferably”
add a new clause
(Thiele):
5.1(4) “rejecting a singled-out recommendation of the
General Committee (see 5.4);” [note: this new
clause could possibly be subsumed within new
clause 5.1(5), below]
add a new clause
(McNeill,
Wilson):
5.1(5) “rejecting one or more recommendations of the
General Committee on conservation or rejection of
names, suppression of works, or binding decisions.”
move (Thiele)
clause 5.2(5), to become clause 5.1(1bis)
in clause 5.2(8)
(McNeill), add
“not included in 5.1(4)”
at the end [note: the addition of clause 5.1(5) possibly
makes clause 5.2(8) redundant]
in paragraph 5.6
(Bureau of Nomenclature),
delete “Notes,”
in paragraph 7.4,
-
replace (Watson)
“who were present” by “who
should preferably have been present” and
-
replace
(Watson)
“previous” by “relevant”
in Rec. 7A,
-
insert
(Schori)
“and gender” before “balanced” and
-
delete (General Committee)
the second sentence
(“In the General Committee […]”)
in paragraph 7.11
(Wilson, on behalf of the General
Committee), replace
“after voting 3 times” by
“after voting at least twice” and the subsequent
remainder
(Greuter) by
“the proposal goes to
the General Committee without a recommendation
from the specialist committee”
in paragraph 7.12
(Wilson, on behalf of the General
Committee,
Turland),
-
in the first sentence, after “approve” insert “or
overturn”;
-
in the second sentence, replace
“In this case” by
“In either case”; and
-
replace the third sentence by
“If the required majority
is not achieved after voting
at least twice, the General Committee is considered
to have recommended against the proposal or against
making a binding decision. The General Committee
may also decide to refer the matter back to the
specialist committee for further consideration.”
| Div. III - Prop. C | – 362 – May & al. | gen.c.: –, c.fun.: + |
was accepted as amended
(Wiltshire-Hawksworth):
“the Section instructs the Editorial Committee to bring
together all material relating only to fungi into a separate
section or chapter within the Code,
and that this section
be subject to modification only by the International
Mycological Congresses operating as proposed by the
Special Subcommittee on the Governance of the Code
with respect to Fungi.”
further amended
(May)
to include replacing in paragr. 8.1
“For proposals relating solely to names of organisms
treated as fungi”
by
“For proposals
relating to material in the chapter that
gathers together articles solely dealing with names
of organisms treated as fungi (but excluding any
other material)”.
| Div. III - Prop. D | – 363 – May & al. | gen.c.: –, c.fun.: + |

(May),
inserting at the end of
paragraph 7.new “if they are not already members of
the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi”.
[ ]
| App. I - Prop. A | – 034 – Zhu |
was accepted as amended
(as suggested by the
Rapporteurs),
“Move Appendix I into the main body
of the Code.
Renumber App. II–VIII as App. I–VIII.
Editorially adjust the relevant cross-references
throughout the Code.”
There was a suggestion
(May), to call it Chapter H.
A proposal form the floor (de Lange)
was accepted to add
a new Note under Art. H.2.1:
“Note 1. Because a species name is a binary combination
(Art. 23.1) hybrid formulae are expressed in the following
manner:
Kunzea linearis (Kirk) de Lange ×
Kunzea robusta
de Lange & Toelken or
Kunzea linearis (Kirk) de Lange ×
K. robusta de Lange & Toelken, not as
Kunzea linearis (Kirk)
de Lange × robusta de Lange & Toelken.”
On the final day (Friday, 21 July):
*
there was room for
proposals from the floor
[Word doc;
annotations by Recorder, in colour; rejected proposals
greyed-out] (the successful ones included above),
* based on a
paper on virtual participation,
a proposal
(Fortunato,
Freire-Fierro)
was accepted to establish a
Special Committee,
* a presentation on the Appendices
[Powerpoint]
was made
(Wiersema) and discussed.
