Summary Revised procedures for the General Committee and the Permanent Nomenclatural Committees for particular groups are reported. Decisions are reported on: (1) two overlooked proposals from before the Melbourne Congress, one to conserve a name and the other to suppress a work; (2) thirty proposals to conserve and reject names recommended for acceptance in the Nomenclature Committee for Vascular Plants Report 64 and thirteen such proposals recommended for rejection in that Committee Report; (3) two conservation proposals for which the NCVP could not make a firm recommendation; (4) one recommendation from the NCVP to suppress a work; and (5) five recommendations from the NCVP on requests for binding decisions, four under Art. 38.4 (adequate description) and one under Art. 53.5 (parahomonymy).
