Subject: [Taxacom] Botanical descriptions and ICBN

Hello!

 

I am preparing a lecture for my botany class and I have a quick question
based on a discussion that recently came through this list.  

 

As I recall, the ICBN recently passed a new rule that allows botanical
species descriptions to be in English instead of Latin; is that correct?

 

I apologize-I have been unable to find the email thread to verify this
on my own.

 

Best regards, Brian
