was referred to the
Committee for Fossil Plants who consulted
and added
a supplement to their report,
which was accepted.
Art. 3 Note 1 to be reworded:
Note 1.
Since the names of species, and consequently of
many higher taxa,
of fossil plants are usually based on
fragmentary specimens, and since the connection between
these specimens can only rarely be proved,
organ-genera
(organo-genera) and form-genera
(forma-genera) are
distinguished as taxa within which species may be recognized
and given names according to the Code.
An organ-genus is a genus assignable to a family.
A form-genus
may be unassignable to a family,
but may be referable to a
taxon of higher rank (see Art. 59).
Form-genera are artificial
in varying degree.
[Examples to be in a single list with no reference
to form- and
organ-genera.] Thus,
Prop. 152 was rendered moot.
