A Copy of the Plant Nomenclature
Title 190 – National Plant Materials Manual Part 542 – Acronyms 542.2 Plant Nomenclature The scientific, or Latin, names of plants, both wild and cultivated are formulated and written according to rules governed by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, July 2005 (Vienna Code). Distinguishable groups of cultivated plants, whose origin or selection is due primarily to mankind, are given epithets (i.e., names, such as cultivar names) formed according to the rules and provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, February 2004. The aim of these codes is to promote uniformity, accuracy and stability in formulating the scientific names of all plants (Botanical Code) and in formulating the cultivar names of agricultural, forestry, and horticultural plants (Cultivated Plant Code). The following text is adapted from these two Codes. Genus and Species Names Plant names may include a genus, specific epithet, a name rank below species (such as a subspecies and/or botanical variety), Latin name authorities, and the cultivar or release name. The genus, species, and variety or subspecies names are always italicized or underlined. Authorities should always be included with the Latin name the first time the plant name is used. A scientific plant name may be written in either of the following ways: Ammophila breviligulata Fern. OR Ammophila breviligulata Fern. Hybrid Names Validly published hybrid names are signified by the symbol “x” and are not italicized. Hybrids at the generic level are written with an “x” immediately prior to the genus name, such as in the following example: xElyleymus colvillensis (Lepage) Barkworth For a hybrid at the species level an “x” is placed immediately prior to the specific epithet, as in this example: Quercus xdeamii Trel. -

The image on the cover and title page is a stylized dendrogram of paraphyly (see Plate 1.1). This is, in macroevolutionary terms, an ancestral taxon of two (or more) species or of molecular strains of one taxon giving rise to a descendant taxon (unconnected comma) from one ancestral branch. The image on the back cover is a stylized dendrogram of two, genus-level speciational bursts or dis- silience. Here, the dissilient genus is the basic evolutionary unit (see Plate 13.1). This evolutionary model is evident in analysis of the moss Didymodon (Chapter 8) through superoptimization. A super- generative core species with a set of radiative, specialized descendant species in the stylized tree com- promises one genus. In this exemplary image; another genus of similar complexity is generated by the core supergenerative species of the first.

Inventory of Rubiaceae species in Mt. Pao Range, Ilocos Norte, Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. Biodiversitas 22: 3604-3612. Botanical assessments in the Philippines are mostly conducted on declared Protected Areas (PAs). However, many remaining potentially interesting and largely unexplored floristic sites are not considered PA, one of which is the Mt. Pao Range in the Municipality of Adams, located in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Among the flowering plant family, Rubiaceae is one with the largest number of endemic species and genera in the Philippines Thus, floristic surveys of Rubiaceae species were conducted, and collections were made from September 2019 to March 2021. A total of 39 species belonging to 13 tribes and 24 genera of the family were recorded. These constitute 7.09% of the total Philippine Rubiaceae. -

50 Years of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants: Future Prospects for the Code
50 Years of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants: Future Prospects for the Code P. Trehane 2 Pye Corner Wimborne Dorset, BH21 1UL United Kingdom Keywords: culton, cultivar-group, history, International Association for Cultivated Plant Taxonomy, linguistics, plant breeders’ rights, trademarks Abstract The first edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants was published in June 1953 by the Royal Horticultural Society as a preprint from the Report of the Thirteenth International Horticultural Congress held in London, September 1952, and has undergone a total of six editions, the last being in 1995. This presentation sets the scene for discussions on nomenclature issues which form one of purposes of this Symposium by reviewing past editions of the Code and illustrating a few of the problems confronting the formulation of a new edition. The need for international co-operation between statutory and non-statutory bodies in the various acts of nomenclature and taxonomy is highlighted. INTRODUCTION As the speaker following will describe (McNeill, these proceedings), before the advent of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (Stearn, 1953a) otherwise known as the Cultivated Plant Code or ICNCP, the formal rules for naming cultivated plants was largely governed through the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature through its various editions up until the Stockholm Code of 1952. In that Code a proposed set of rules for governing names of cultivated plants was presented in its Appendix III. In introducing that Appendix, it was stated that the regulations would not become official until formally accepted by the 13th International Horticultural Congress to be held in London in late 1952. -
Floodplain Vegetation Responses to Flood Regime in the Seasonal Okavango Delta, Botswana
FLOODPLAIN VEGETATION RESPONSES TO FLOOD REGIME IN THE SEASONAL OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA By MICHAEL MURRAY-HUDSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 ©2009 Michael Murray-Hudson 2 To the late Pete Smith, who planted the seed, and to Frances, who helped it grow. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research on which this dissertation is based was funded and supported by many and various agencies: The University of Botswana, University of Florida (Adaptive Management: Water, Wetlands and Watersheds program funded by the National Science Foundation), and the Biokavango project (Global Environment Facility). The University of Botswana also provided funding for the costs of studying and living abroad. Their support is gratefully acknowledged. In addition the support of all of the staff at the Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre was instrumental in facilitating both the field research and the remote sensing components of this work. In particular, Piotr Wolski (who can make computers work for him), Cornelis Vanderpost for help with imagery, and Wilfred Kaneguba, Moagisi Diare, Florian Bendsen and Aulter Karumendu for unflagging enthusiasm, willingness to do transects chest deep in crocodile- infested waters, and very fine goat stews in very remote places. Dr Jonathan Timberlake and the staff at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, England, provided invaluable help with identifying stubborn species. Special thanks are due to Dr Mark Brown, my supervisor, for allowing me great flexibility in achieving my goals, and for the field trips in support of the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program (IGERT) program. -
