Decisions are reported on proposals in Reports 65 and 66 from the Nomenclature Committee for Vascular Plants (NCVP): (1) three proposals in Report 65; (2) 33 proposals to conserve or reject names recommended for acceptance in NCVP Report 66; (3) 17 such proposals recommended for rejection in that Committee Report; (4) five conservation proposals for which the NCVP could not reach a firm recommendation; (5) one request to suppress a work under Art. 34; (6) three requests for binding decisions under Art. 53.5 (confusingly similar names). Proposal (1933) on the name of the cultivated apple was referred back to the NCVP. Decisions are also reported on proposals in Report 9 of the Nomenclature Committee for Fossils: (1) 17 proposals to conserve or reject names recommended for acceptance; (2) seven such proposals recommended for rejection. Action is deferred on various proposals pending further discussion.
