Committees
Special Committees (to report to the XVIII IBC) to be set up:
• Special Committee on Electronic Publication (re-established).

Special Committee on the Nomenclature of Fungi
with a Pleomorphic Life
History
(newly established).
To it were referred:

(183, 185-187 by Hawksworth).
•
on the harmonization of the nomenclature of blue-green prokaryotes
(newly
established).
As requested by the Committee for Pteridophyta,
its functions were transferred
to the present Committee for Spermatophyta,
renamed the Committee for
Vascular Plants.
Notes
•
Prop. 4 by Rapini (Art. 45 Prop. A)
was accepted as amended (Watson,
Challis, Dorr), to become a
Recommendation:
45A.n.
A new name should be followed by a direct citation
including the
term novum or its abbreviation
(e.g., gen. nov., sp. nov., comb. nov.).
•
Prop. 59 and 60 by Moore & Clemants (Art. 11 Prop. A and B)
were accepted
as amended, as suggested by the Rapporteurs,
to insert the following Note in
Art. 11:
Note n.
The provisions
of Art. 11 determine priority between different
names applicable to the same taxon;
they do not concern homonymy which
is governed by Art. 53,
and which establishes that later homonyms are
illegitimate regardless of
whether the type is fossil or non-fossil.
•
Prop. 184 by Hawksworth (Art. 59 Prop. B)
was accepted as amended
(Redhead):
a) Add a new paragraph in Art. 59, to read:
59.6bis.
Where a teleomorph has been discovered
for a fungus previously
known only as an anamorph and for which there is no available name for
the holomorph, an epitype exhibiting the teleomorph stage may be
designated for the hitherto anamorphic name even when there is no hint
of the teleomorph in the protologue of that name.
b) Revise Art. 59.4 to read:
59.4.
Irrespective of priority, names with a teleomorphic type
or epitype
(Art. 59.7) take precedence over names only with an anamorphic type
when the types are judged to belong to the same holomorphic taxon.
Priority of competing teleomorphic typified or epitypified names follows
Principle III except that teleomorphic typified names published before
1 January 2007 take precedence over anamorphic typified names
subsequently epitypified after 1 January 2007 by teleomorphs.
c) Insert in
Art. 59.1
after typified:
or epitypified
under Art. 59.7.
And in
Art. 59.2
after its type specimen:
or its
epitype specimen
under
Art. 59.7; and at the end:
(see also Art. 59.7).
•
Prop. 266 by Brummitt (Rec. 14A Prop. A)
was accepted as amended, as
suggested by the Rapporteurs, the last phrase of
Rec. 14A.1 to read:
...
authors should follow existing usage of names
as far as possible pending
the General Committees recommendation on the proposal.
•
Prop. 267 by Brummitt (Art. 30 Prop. A)
was accepted as amended, as
suggested by the Rapporteurs,
but with the year changed to 1953 (Demoulin),
the new paragraph in
Art. 30 to read
[later a Note was added, as well]:
30.4bis.
Publication on or after 1 January 1953
of an independent non-serial
work stated to be a thesis submitted to a university
or other institute of
education for the purpose of obtaining a degree
is not effectively published
unless it includes an explicit statement (referring to Art. 30)
or other internal
evidence that it is regarded as an effective publication by its author or
publisher.
•
Prop. 305 by Perry (Art. 32 Prop. E)
was accepted as amended (Printzen,
McNeill),
to add
purely aesthetic.
On the final day, a motion from the
floor (Chaloner) was accepted, to add
geological age.
Motions from the floor that were accepted
In addition to the previously published proposals, the
following proposals made
during the sessions of the Nomenclature Section in Vienna
were accepted by the
Section or, where so indicated,
were referred to the Editorial Committee:
• by Skog, to add at the end of Art 1.2 [see also Art. 11.7, below]:
Any taxon that is
described as including more than one part, life-history
stage, or preservational state is not a morphotaxon.
•
by Wieringa, on the final day,
readjusting the Rapporteurs Note added after
Prop. 066 by Moore & al.
(Art. 22 Prop. C)
had been rejected, was accepted
as amended (K.Wilson, Turland),
the Note to be inserted after Art. 6.2 to read:
Note n.
Valid publication creates a name,
and sometimes also an autonym
(Art. 22.1 and 26.1),
but does not itself, for nomenclatural purposes, imply
any taxonomic circumscription
beyond inclusion of the type of the name(s)
(Art. 7.1).
•
by Gandhi,
referred to the Editorial Committee,
change the term type in
the first line of
Art. 7.11,
to lecto-, neo-, and epitype.
•
by Gandhi,
referred to the Editorial Committee,
to insert a Note in
Art. 9
dealing with the usage of the terms
isolectotype, isoneotype, and
isoepitype
(for duplicate specimens of these relevant types).
[Two motions from the floor
(Tronchet, respectively Gandhi) were rejected
to insert a Note in
Art. 9
defining the term paralectotype (possibly
lectoparatype) for the syntype residue
(after the selection of a lectotype)]
• by Skog, to alter taxa in Art. 11.7 to morphotaxa [see also Art. 1.2].
• by Brummitt, McNeill, Wieringa, Zijlstra, the first clause of Art. 20.2 to read:
The name of a genus
may not coincide with a Latin technical term in use
in morphology at the time of publication unless ...
• by Wieringa, to add a new Recommendation, to follow Art. 26:
While publishing
a name of an infraspecific taxon
that will also establish
an autonym, the author should mention
this autonym in the publication.
with the insertion of a similar
Recommendation to follow Art. 22 referred
to the Editorial Committee.
• by K.Wilson (on behalf of an ad hoc group on electronic publishing)
a) accepted as amended (Redhead, Rijckevorsel, Norvell, Nee, Dorr,
Rijckevorsel, K.Wilson), the final clause of Art. 29.1 to read:
... or solely by any form of electronic distribution.
b) referred to the Editorial Committee,
as amended (Hawksworth, Atha,
Demoulin), a new
Note be added to Art. 29:
Note n.
Even if a name is published in a periodical
with parallel printed
and electronic versions,
as effective publication requires distribution of
printed matter,
this establishes the date of effective publication.
c) referred to the Editorial Committee, as amended (Stuessy),
a Note to be
added on archiving by publishers.
d) referred to the Editorial Committee,
as amended (Briggs, K.Wilson), a
new Recommendation to follow Art. 29:
29A.n.
For those publishing nomenclatural novelties in periodicals
(cf. Rec. 30A.2) that distribute a printed version as well as a matching
electronic version, the features of such a periodical should be:
(i)
The printed and electronic versions should be identical in content
and pagination;
(ii) The electronic version should be
in platformindependent and
printable format;
(iii)
The electronic version should be publicly available via the World
Wide Web or its successors;
(iv)
The presence of nomenclatural novelties should be prominently
indicated in the work (cf. Rec. 30A.3).
e) referred to the Editorial Committee,
as amended (Gams, McNeill,
Orchard), a new paragraph in the new Rec. 29A or in Rec. 30A:
29A.n.
To aid wide availability through time and place,
it is strongly
recommended that printed copies of a publication
should be deposited
in at least ten (10) but preferably more botanical
or other generally
accessible libraries that are spread widely around the world and that
should include one appropriate name-indexing centre.
• by Wieringa, to add a Note to the new provision in Art 30:
Note n.
The presence of an ISBN or the name of a publisher
is regarded as
internal evidence that the work was intended to be effectively published.
•
by Chaloner,
to add
geological age to the new provision of Prop. 305 by
Perry (Art. 32 Prop. E).
•
by Hawksworth (following the defeat of
Prop. 296 by Brummitt & al.,
Art. 37
Prop. C,
and three motions from the floor
to deal with illustrations as types
for algae and fungi, by Redhead)
was accepted as amended (Demoulin, Buck,
Watson, Buck, Landrum),
to add a new paragraph to Art. 37, to read:
37.4bis.
For the purpose of this Article,
the type of the name of a new
species or infraspecific taxon (fossils excepted: see Art. 8.5)
may be either
a specimen or only until 31 December 2006 an illustration.
On or after
1 Jan 2007 the type must be a specimen.
A further mmotion from the floor (Wieringa)
was accepted as amended
(Atha, McNeill, Gandhi, Dorr, Norvell, Veldkamp) to rephrase
Art. 37.4 as:
37.4bis.
For the purpose
of this Article,
the type of the name of a new
species or infraspecific taxon of microscopic algae
or microfungi may be
an effectively published illustration where there are
technical difficulties
of preservation or it is impossible
to preserve either a meaningful type or
part of the original material.
•
by Demoulin (on behalf of the Committee for Fungi),
in Art. 45.4
after the
word algae,
add or fungi
(twice).
Also adjust Ex. 6 (Hawksworth).
• by Ahti, to add a Note in Art. 49:
Note n.
Parenthetical authors must not be cited
for suprageneric names,
because such names cannot have basionyms as defined in Art. 49.1
(see also Art. 33.3).
• by Fontella Pereira, to add a footnote to Div.III.4(b)(2), to read:
Prior to each
International Botanical Congress
any institution desiring to vote in the
coming Nomenclature Section
(and not listed as having been allocated a vote in the
previous Nomenclature Section)
should notify the Bureau
of Nomenclature of the
IBC of their wish to be allocated voting rights
and provide any relevant information
regarding the level of taxonomic activity
in their institution.
