- Title
(177-182) Proposals concerning names of taxa above the rank of family.
- Authors
Brummitt, R. K.
- Abstract
The article discusses several suggested modifications to the "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature" rules related to the taxon names above the family rank. It explores the need to remove citations of authorships of the taxon names published in taxonomic publications and the notion of valid publication for names above the family rank. It recommends the compulsory termination of the names above the family rank. It suggests the exclusion of explanatory names at the order and suborder.
