the nomina specifica conservanda were rejected.
Instead
a proposal (Ramsbottom) was accepted to have
a Committee to draw up a list of economically important
species; this list to be protected for ten years.

with the following wording:
“Names
of families are taken from the name of one of
their genera, or from a synonym, and end in
-aceae.”

was accepted with the following amended (Exell)
wording :
“Example
of asexual hybrids: +Solanum tubingense
(Solanum Lycopersicum +
nigrum).”
the Bureau recommended that this proposal be rejected
but that the example be added to Art. 34,
the term
“subhybrida” being replaced by “forma”
(Harms):
this was adopted.
was accepted as amended
(the Bureau);
the change
to Art. 35 to read:
“The
fancy epithet will be preceded
by the letter “c.”.”
A proposal from the floor (Hochreutiner)
was accepted
to add to Art. 36:
“Where
separates from periodicals or other works placed
on sale are issued in advance, the date on the separate
is accepted as the date of effective publication.”
was accepted as amended (Rehder):
“Citation
of authors’ names and of literature for
purposes of precision.”
was accepted as amended
(the Bureau):
“An
alteration of the diagnostic characters or of the
circumscription of a group
without exclusion of
the type ... ”.
was amended
(Hitchcock,
Linder, Sprague)
to read:
“Misapplications
of names should not be included in
synonymy. Misapplied names may be included in notes
appended to the synonymy but distinct from it, or to the
description where there is no synonymy.”
this was referred to the Editorial Committee.
was accepted as amended
(Harms),
to omit the first example,
the text to be abbreviated:
“In
citation of literature ‘in’ should be inserted
after the
name of the author if the citation
refers to a periodical
or other serial publication, or if it is a work by another
author.”
was accepted as amended
(the Bureau), to read:
“If
a name cited in synonymy applies only in part to the
group under which it is cited, it should be made clear
whether the synonym cited includes the type, and in that
case the words pro parte typica, (p. p. typ.) should be
appended; in more exact citations the parts excluded or
those belonging to the group in question should be cited,
or the name of the author who changed the circumscription
of the group should be added, preceded by ‘emend.’ .”
In the examples delete “p.p.” in lines 1 and 6;
substitute
the word “under” for
“as synon.” in line 4/5.
was accepted as amended,
by the deletion of the words
“without grammatical or orthographic corrections or changes
in the indication of rank of subdivisions of genera or of
species,” and the addition of “A.” before
“Gray” in lines 7
and 9.
was accepted as amended, with the following wording:
“since
the type of Myosotis L. remains in the genus.”
was accepted as amended
(Sprague), to read:
“When,
on transference to another genus or species,
the epithet of a subdivision of a species has been
applied erroneously in its new position to a different
subdivision of the same rank, the new combination
must be retained for the plant on which the former
combination was based, and must be attributed to
the author who first published it.”

was accepted as amended
(Sprague)
to replace the
words “he (or she)” by
“the author”,
and the phrase
“Rafinesque ought to have adopted the name
Pontederia L.” by
“the name Pontederia L. ought
to have been adopted.”
was accepted as amended
(Rehder),
to read:
“When
an author simultaneously publishes the same
new name for more than one group,
the first author
who adopts one of them, or substitutes another name
for one of them, must be followed.”
The Example referred to the Committee involved.
was accepted as amended by the deletion of the words
“(i.e. secundum)” in the example of Rec. XXXVII.
it was suggested
(
Sprague) that in view of the small
number of such names (masculine generic names based
on a personal name) it would be better to deal with these
by conservation of the desired spelling, rather than by a
special Rule. It was agreed to reject the proposal and to
refer the five generic names concerned
(Herberta,
Marchesinia,
Nardia,
Pallavicinia, and
Riccardia) for
conservation.
was accepted as amended
(Sprague),
with Art. 72 to
become a Recommendation.
provisions 1 and 2 were withdrawn;
the remainder was
then referred to the Executive and Editorial Committees.
Also, the following motion
(Ramsbottom)
was accepted:
“That the President and Secretary of the Executive
Committee of Nomenclature be ex officio members
of all nomenclature Committees appointed by the
Section.”
was accepted, leaving it to the Committee for
Phanerogamae and Pteridophyta to conserve any
additional names that might be required.
it was proposed
(Linder) and accepted that the
Executive Committee should get into touch with
Botanical Institutions in the various countries and
ask them to give their ideas concerning representative
institutions to be placed on the list.
Miscellaneous
•
It was proposed (Rendle) and accepted
that only matters
left over from the present Congress,
or new propositions,
should be allowed to be proposed at the next Congress.
•
It was moved
(Lanjouw)
that a proposal to the Cambridge
Congress,
Art. 37ter (Rec. Syn. p. 41)
([ ]),
be considered;
this was accepted as amended
(Robyns), to read:
“A
name of a taxonomic group is not validly published
unless it is definitely accepted by the author who
publishes it. A name proposed provisionally (nomen
provisorium) in anticipation of the eventual acceptance
of the group, or of a particular circumscription,
position or rank of a given group, or merely mentioned
incidentally is not validly published.”
The example was brought forward
(Robyns) of
Cymbopogon Bequaerti and Andropogon Bequaerti and
discussed; such alternative names were to be allowed.
•
The following four resolutions proposed by the Algologists
were adopted:
1. In describing new species of Algae, special importance
should be attached to the provision of illustrations and
to maintenance of cultures of the species concerned.
2. The desirability of adopting further monographs as the
starting points of particular groups of Algae, as in the
Oedogoniaceae, should be investigated.
3. A list of nomina dubia of species, genera and families
should be prepared, and also lists of nomina
conservanda and rejicienda of genera and families.
4. The desirability of retaining
the Latin language for
diagnoses of new Algae should be investigated.
•
As to the proposals on fossils,
the Section of Palaeobotany
met on September 3rd,
and decided unanimously that
additions should be made to the Rules and
Recommendations for the following objects:
1. To recognize as taxonomic groups, organ genera and
artificial or form genera.
2. To ensure that the names originally given to detached
organs or parts of plants shall only be used in their
original significance and shall not be employed in
the designation of different organs, or of the plant as
a whole.
3. To provide for the naming of an entire plant when it
has been possible to reconstruct it by the association
of its different organs.
4. To define how the names of the artificial genera are
to be used.
5. To set up a permanent committee to consider the
interpretation of the rules; to adjudicate in cases of
dispute or difficulty; to draw up lists of Nomina
generica conservanda; and to make such further
recommendations as may prove necessary, including
rules for the determination of types.
Wording and arrangement to be left to the Secretary,
Hamshaw Thomas, the whole to be printed as an
appendix.
•
As to the proposals on mycology,
it was stated
(Ramsbottom) on behalf of the Committee for Fungi
that separate subcommittees would be appointed to
investigate the effects of the various proposals (Art. 20
Prop. A, B, C, E, and F, Art. 57 Prop. A).
•
An Editorial Committee for a Supplement of the
International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature was
appointed (three persons, one for each language) instead
of a full Editorial Committee.
Committees
•
A
Special Committee to report on the effects of the
adoption of Art. A 19 (dealing with the proposed
suppression of certain works) was appointed.
•
A
Special Committee for Nomenclature of Economic
Plants was appointed to draw up a list of names of
economic plants according to the International Rules;
this list to remain in use for a period of ten years.
•
The appointment of a Committee to draw up an
Appendix on Regulations for determining types
(the App. I proposed at Cambridge) was referred to
the Executive Committee.
