with the generic name, or with a specific name previously used in 
that se aa 
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 spécies as examples 
or types of the genus, with or without a diagnosis. 
VI. Pusiication oF SpecrEs.—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. 
VII. Simirar 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 Agzos and Apium are to 
be retained, but of Epidendrum and Epidendron, Asterocarpus and 
Astrocarpus, the latter is to be rejected. 
VIII. Crration or AuTuoritizs.—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.
