citation of basionyms

[Jacques Melot]

=A0Le 15/11/98, a 15:40 +0100, nous recevions de JOSEPH E. LAFERRIERE :

>I still have not received a definitive answer to the question
>I posed last week: if the requirements for valid publication
>of a plant name (diagnosis/description, type designation,
>and indication of where the type is housed) are met on
>different pages of the same book, which page is one supposed
>to cite in a recombination statement? Please do not
>answer in terms of page priority, which is a myth not
>discussed at all in the ICBN.

>"Computito ergo sum ...  I link therefore I am."


Reponse : Art. 33, Note 1.

[Art. 33] Note 1. For the purpose of this Code, a page reference (for pub=
lications with a consecutive pagination) is a reference to THE PAGE OR PA=
GES ON WHICH THE BASIONYM WAS VALIDLY PUBLISHED [cf. Art 32] or on which =
the protologue is printed, but not to the pagination of the whole publica=
tion unless it is coextensive with that of the protologue.

   Suivant la date de publication de la comb. nov. ou du nom. nov., une d=
iagnose latine, un type, le mot typus ou l'herbier ou le type est conserv=
e, doivent etre indiques. Ces indications peuvent etre sur des pages diff=
erentes (nombreux exemples, en mycologie, chez J. Favre, M. Moser, etc.).=
 Les autres pages du protologue n'ont pas a etre citees (sauf si l'on a d=
ecide de citer tout le protologue).

   Salutations amicales,
