  International Code of Botanical Nomenclature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants.
The ICBN sets the formal starting date of plant nomenclature at 1 May 1753, the publication of Species Plantarum by Linnaeus (or at later dates for specified groups and ranks).
There are special provisions in the ICBN for some of these groups, as there are for fossils.

The name of a taxon must be in Latin, it must not be identical with a name already published before, and it must conform to the intended rank of the taxon (please refer to the ICBN for the definition of ranks).
In special cases several other rules of the ICBN have to be followed, and all taxonomists should know the entire text of the ICBN (1993) before they publish their first new name.

 Type terminology
When the holotype or lectotype does not exhibit the necessary characters for taxonomic separation, an epitype may be designated to serve as a source for these missing characters, without loss or destruction of the holotype or lectotype.
Comment: Most types can be segregated into those designated by the originating author in the originating publication, and those designated by a later author (including the originating author at a later date).
Comment: Once not included in the ICBN itself (but only in the "Guide for the Determination of Types"), paratypes cannot be searched to designate a lectotype.

 PhyloCode Article 6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Italicizing all scientific names is consistent with the 2000 edition of the ICBN but not with the 1999 edition of the ICZN.
In order to indicate which names are established under this code and therefore have explicit phylogenetic definitions (and whose endings are not reflective of rank), it may be desirable to distinguish these names from supraspecific names governed by the rank-based codes, particularly when both are used in the same publication.
In addition, scientific names governed by the ICBN that are in current or recent use but have never been published with a Latin description or diagnosis (and therefore violate ICBN Art.

 Constancea 83.18: Ontogeny v. Phylogeny
The ICBN of 1966 (the Edinburgh Code) did retain a distinction between organ taxa and form taxa, and that distinction was retained in the Seattle Code of 1972 — this being the edition used by W.W. Hay (1977), in his classification of ‘Calcareous nannofossils’.
The ICBN can only be applied to determine the legal status of a name; it cannot circumscribe the application of that name according to particular taxonomic beliefs.
They scarcely constitute a ‘description’ in terms of ICBN Art 32.2 (“A diagnosis of a taxon is a statement of that which, in the opinion of its author distinguishes the taxon from others”) but the ICBN Art 32 is lax in its toleration of descriptions and diagnoses, permitting almost anything.

 Electronic Textbook of Dermatology--Botanical Dermatology , Introduction
Some name changes occur because a plant was erroneously named to begin with, e.g., the ICBN holds that the oldest name for a plant is the correct name, and occasionally it is shown that a plant received a name that was antedated by another name.
Application of the ICBN showed that the correct generic handle for the poison ivies and their relatives was Toxicodendron, and thus we now call common poison ivy Toxicodendron radicans.
Their alternative names were used in antiquity, and the ICBN permits their use in formal botany as a concession to ancient tradition.

The nomenclature of fungi is governed by ICBN under the auspices of the International Botanical Congress and is not based solely on molecular genetics.

 Species & Cultivars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Within the ICBN a plant species is defined as the principal basic rank called a species.
A number of species make up a genus, and each succeeding higher rank is so nested into the next higher rank, genera into family, families into order, orders into class, classes into division and all of these combined make up and are nested into the plant kingdom.
The ICBN allows species to be further subdivided into subspecies, varieties and forms.

 Adelbert von Chamisso and botanical orthography
The nomenclatural rules given by ICBN are retroactive to 1753 (the date of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum) and provide that "(t)he original spelling of a name or epithet is to be retained, except for the correction of typo- graphical or orthographical errors…" (emphasis added).
According to ICBN, it is correct to form the possessive case simply by adding the letter _i after the terminal _o as Sprengel had done ("chamissoi").
I wrote to Dr. Nicolson and asked him whether the modern ICBN rules dictate that any name containing the epithet chamissonis is an "orthographic error," which must be corrected to chamissoi.

 CURRENT PROBLEMS IN NOMENCLATURE AND TAXONOMY OF CULTIVATED PLANTS
Whereas the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) is still a system exclusively for scientific use, it is the scope of the present ICNCP to provide a simple system for practical purposes for a very diverse group of users with different intentions.
The first two aspects affect the ICBN as well as the ICNCP and are due to the lack of an adequate theoretical background for the treatment of reticulate evolution.
Though the present system of the ICNCP is far from being satisfactory, many nomenclatural problems result from the vast number of categories that have been introduced in the past.

 NOMENCLATURE OF CULTIVATED PLANTS: A HISTORICAL BOTANICAL STANDPOINT
The progressive independence of plant nomenclature from taxonomy, the theory and practice of classification, is outlined from Linnaeus’s development of the binomial to the adoption of the type method.
In general, the ICBN makes no assumptions as to the methods, principles or purposes of taxonomy, save one, that the units of taxonomy, the taxa being named, are in some way nested in a hierarchy of ranks.
Variation at and below the species level, whether in wild or cultivated plants, is not readily accommodated in a hierarchical structure.

As such, sporomorph genera cannot, per the ICBN, be grouped under supra generic names at the family level, though they may be referred to taxa of higher rank, such as class Angiospermae, for example.
