International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants: Appendices I–VII

(view Preface )

(with an accounting of all proposals to conserve, protect, and reject names, to suppress works, and requests for binding decisions)

In 1950, the International Botanical Congress founded the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT), which started the journal Taxon. All proposals for conservation or rejection of scientific names (see guidelines ), for suppression of botanical works, and requests for binding decisions on valid publication or confusability of names (see guidelines ) are now published in Taxon and proposals for protection of fungal names in IMA Fungus (the journal of the International Mycological Association). The proposal number series for conservation/rejection proposals was started in 1955 and continues today; the numbering of other proposals or requests only began in 2013. This database, which succeeds the "Proposals and Disposals" database initiated by Dan Nicolson in 2000, contains records of all such proposals or requests and their histories since the first ones appeared in 1892, and two reports are available from the data.

A Madrid Code Appendices report reproduces all entries matching any set of search criteria within the content of Madrid Code Appendices I–VII .

A Proposals/Requests report details the history of selected proposals or request matching the search criteria entered, providing citations of all Nomenclature Committee reports regarding their status, and indicating the final outcome through citations, if any, in subsequent Codes where the names or works involved have appeared, and displays any relevant entries in the Madrid Code Appendices.

For a full explanation of some of these criteria, see the help file . [Dan Nicolson, March 2000–February 2009; John Wiersema, April 2009–present (9443 entries)].
