with the generic name, or with a specific name previously used in 
that genus. 
IV. Homonyms.—The publication of a generic name or a bi- | 
nomial invalidates the use of the same name for any subsequently 
published genus or species respectively. 
V. PUBLICATION OF GENERA.— Publication of a genus consists | 
only (1) in the distribution of a printed description of the genus | 
named; (2) in the publication of the name of the genus and the 
citation of one or more previously published species as examples 
or types of the genus, with or without a diagnosis. 
VI. PUBLICATION OF SreciEs.— Publication of a species consists ' 
only (1) in the distribution of a printed description of the species | 
named; (2) in the publishing of a binomial, with reference to a 
previously published species as a type. 
VIL SimiLar GENERIC NAMES.—Similar generic names are | 
not to be rejected on account of slight differences, except in the 
spelling of the same word; for example Apios and Apium are to 
be retained, but of Epidendrum and Epidendron, Asterocarpus and 
Astrocarpus, the later is to be rejected. 
VIII. CITATION or AvurHoRITIEs.—In the case of a species 
which has been transferred from one genus to another, the original 
author must always be cited in parenthesis, followed by the author 
of the new binomial. 2
