Summary A proposal is made to amend Article 35 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature dealing with names published without clear indication of rank. Such names published before 1953 should be treated as validly published but inoperative in questions of priority. If taken up later in a definite rank the new name should be regarded as a new combination with the original name as the basionym.
