[Taxacom] Creating a new name can be easier than it seems

[Stephen Thorpe]

this is all very unclear!
?
I really don't think that, had the name not?already been made available in an earlier abstract (even this is unclear), it could possibly be thought to have been made available in the American Scientist article (though I haven't seen the PDF), since the only thing I can find in the article falls short of being a proper use of the name, i.e.,? [quote]Okay, how about Multi pseudechiniscus? I ask.[unquote]
?

Interesting letter to the editor in the most recent American Scientist. 
American Scientist might have inadvertently published a new genus of 
tardigrades, except that it had already been published in an abstract.

Back when the old ICBN required Latin for descriptions and diagnoses, 
this sort of thing didn't happen often for plants.
