International Code Of Nomenclature

Abstract Valid publication of new names of fossil plant taxa published since 1 January 1996 requires a diagnosis or description in English, besides other requirements included in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code) adopted by the Eighteenth International Botanical Congress, Melbourne, Australia, July 2011 (McNeill et al. 2012). In order to validate names published from the late Eocene flora of the Staré Sedlo Formation, North Bohemia, diagnosed only in German (Knobloch et al. 1996), English translations are provided, including references to the type material and further relevant information.

Nomenclature Section of XIX International Botanical Congress (Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China) worked during July 17–21. 155 delegates from 29 countries participated in this section; they have also 427 institutional votes. Of 397 proposals to amend International code of nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants 113 ones (28.5%) were accepted as such or with amendments. The paper contains brief characteristics of the activity of the Nomenclature Section and the review of its principal decisions which in comparison with those adopted by previous, XVIII International Botanical Congress (Melbourne) look conservative enough.

  Scapania gaochii was described from Yunnan without indication of the herbarium where the type was conserved. Therefore, this name was invalidly published (ICN Art. 37.7; McNeill et al. 2012) and needs validation.The format of this note follows Söderström et al. (2012) except that we use the Melbourne International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN; McNeill et al. 2012) instead of the Vienna International Botanical Code of Nomenclature (ICBN; McNeill et al. 2006).

Abstract Results are provided for the Guiding Vote on the seven formal proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants to be decided by the Fungal Nomenclature Session (FNS) of the XI International Mycological Congress in July 2018. Te ballot for the Guiding Vote was provided online. Tere were 520 valid ballots, submitted by mycologists from 42 countries, belonging to 23 eligible groups and societies, along with authors of proposals. Tw o proposals F-005 and F-006, both concerning DNA sequences as types, exceeded the 75 % No vote that is the threshold above which proposals are considered rejected by the FNS unless formally re-introduced. Two options for amendments to future procedures for the Guiding Vote are proposed: adding eligibility via publication of a nomenclatural novelty among fungi and removing eligibility via membership of IMA MMOs.
