We propose emendation of Rule 27(2)(b) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes so that for new combinations the basonym and its reference must be given. We also propose minor changes to Note 1 and Note 2 of Rule 27.

The creation of the International Fossil Plant Names Index (IFPNI, 2014 onwards) with the aim of listing of all fossil plant species reveals a few new cases of homonymy between fossil and extant species. In the present paper there are proposed two new combinations in Hemitrapa Miki (1941: 289) and four replacing names for later homonyms of Trapa Linnaeus (1753: 120) that are illegitimate (Art. 53.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants—ICN, McNeill et al., 2012).

AbstractA revised version of Chapter F of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants is presented, incorporating amendments approved by the Fungal Nomenclature Session of the 11th International Mycological Congress held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in July 2018. The process leading to the amendments is outlined. Key changes in the San Juan Chapter F are (1) removal of option to use a colon to indicate the sanctioned status of a name, (2) introduction of correctability for incorrectly cited identifiers of names and typifications, and (3) introduction of option to use name identifiers in place of author citations. Examples have been added to aid the interpretation of new Articles and Recommendations, and Examples have also been added to the existing Art. F.3.7 concerning the protection extended to new combinations based on sanctioned names or basionyms of sanctioned names (which has been re-worded), and to Art. F.3.9 concerning typification of names accepted in the sanctioning works.

As a result of recent molecular and morphological evidence (Simões et al. 2015), Merremia Dennstedt ex Endlicher (1841: 1403) was recircumscribed, and most of the species transferred to Camonea Rafinesque (1838: 81), Decalobanthus Ooststroom (1936: 99) and Distimake Rafinesque (1838: 82) by Simões & Staples (2017). During our studies of Distimake and Merremia s.l. from America, we noted that nine species and two varieties that had not been transferred to Distimake clearly fitted Distimake as proposed by Simões & Staples (2017) by possessing the following characters: compound or deeply lobed leaves (exceptionally entire leaves occur), calyces with sepals appressed to the corolla, white or yellow, glabrous corollas, and tricolpate pollen. In the context of our ongoing taxonomic studies in the genus Distimake, the formal transfer of a number of species into this genus is necessary. Lectotypes are designated following the International Code of Nomenclature (ICN) (McNeill et al. 2012).

Recently, articles were published in this journal in which new combinations were published based on basonyms that were not validly published at the time of submission, or a name not yet validly published was proposed as a later heterotypic synonym of another name. We here wish to remind authors and editors of the relevant rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes that regulate the procedure for valid publication of names and specifically, of the fact that names in online pre-publication articles in the journal’s website are not validly published.

In our recently published monograph of the Octopleura clade of Miconia Ruiz & Pavón (1794: 60, Gamba & Almeda 2014) we proposed a number of new combinations and new names to reflect the nested position of this assemblage of 33 species within the large and diverse Neotropical genus Miconia based on morphological and molecular data sets. In proposing the new name, Miconia magnifolia Gamba & Almeda (2014: 91), we overlooked the epithet of a heterotypic synonym that should have been adopted. Miconia magnifolia is therefore illegitimate and nomenclaturally superfluous according to Article 52.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature (McNeill et al. 2012) and is to be rejected because it included the type of a heterotypic synonym whose epithet was available and not already pre-empted in Miconia.

In the present paper, I propose three new combinations in Guarianthe as a result of finding previously ignored binomials and correct misinterpretation of the articles on hybrid names of the International Code of Nomenclature. The correct names for the species and nothospecies up to now known as Guarianthe patinii and Guarianthe ×guatemalensis are, respectively, Guarianthe hennisiana and Guarianthe ×laelioides. The infraspecific combination Guarianthe ×laelioides f. pachecoi is proposed for Cattleya pachecoi. Finally I propose lectotypes for several names.

Rejection (nomen rejiciendum) of the name Borreliella and all new combinations therein is being requested on grounds of risk to human health and patient safety (Principle 1, subprinciple 2 and Rule 56a) and violation to aim for stability of names, to avoid useless creation of names (Principle 1, subprinciple 1 and 3) and that names should not be changed without sufficient reason (Principle 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes).

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.
