Abstract

The latest edition of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature has taken effect at the change of millenia, on January 1, 2001. It supersedes all previous editions. This paper gives a selection of numerous rules, recommendations and examples from the Code for scientific nomenclature of plants, including cyanobacteria, fungi, lichens, photosynthetic protists, recent and fossil, as well as for nomenclature of hybrids. Besides the issues from the Code, authors added examples and exceptions to the rules on grammatical gender of the names of genera and species, and also a part on pronounciation and accents in scientific botanical names.
