2011年7月,在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的第18届国际植物会议上举行的命名部分在科学家将新植物,藻类和真菌命名的方式进行了彻底的变化。更改始于封面:标题被扩大以明确规定该代码不仅适用于植物,还适用于藻类和真菌。现在,新标题将是藻类,真菌和植物的国际命名法。历史上,该代码首次将允许电子出版新的分类单元的名称。为了使新名称的出版更加准确和高效,更改了拉丁语验证或描述的要求,以允许英语或拉丁语作为新名称出版的这些基本组成部分。这两个后一个更改将于2012年1月1日生效。真菌的命名自然规则将看到一些重要的变化,其中最重要的可能是采用“一个真菌,一个名字”的原则。古植物学家还将通过从代码中消除“ morphotaxa”的概念来看到变化。
The Nomenclature Section held just before the 18th International Botanical Congress in Melbourne, Australia in July 2011 saw sweeping changes to the way scientists name new plants, algae, and fungi. The changes begin on the cover: the title was broadened to make explicit that the Code applies not only to plants, but also to algae and fungi. The new title will now be the International Code of Nomenclature of algae, fungi, and plants. For the first time in history the Code will allow for the electronic publication of names of new taxa. In an effort to make the publication of new names more accurate and efficient, the requirement for a Latin validating diagnosis or description was changed to allow either English or Latin for these essential components of the publication of a new name. Both of these latter changes will take effect on 1 January 2012. The nomenclatural rules for fungi will see several important changes, the most important of which is probably the adoption of the principle of "one fungus, one name." Paleobotanists will also see changes with the elimination of the concept of "morphotaxa" from the Code.
