Question

Short notes on principles of ICN

Answer 1

Botanical nomenclature is independent of zoological, bacteriological, and viral nomenclature (see Nomenclature codes).

A botanical name is fixed to a taxon by a type:Article 7 This is almost invariably dried plant material and is usually deposited and preserved in a herbarium, although it may also be an image or a preserved culture. Some type collections can be viewed online at the websites of the herbaria in question.

Names of taxa are treated as Latin.

The rules of nomenclature are retroactive unless there is an explicit statement that this does not apply
