Summary Problems of defining “effective publication” in relation to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature are discussed. Modern technological developments make the definition of “printed matter” obscure, and the number of copies and mode of dispersal of them similarly make “publication” difficult to define. Special problems created by theses, symposium handouts and correction slips are discussed. Two proposals are made to clarify the existing Article 29 of the Code, and a further proposal is made that a special committee be set up to consider ways in which “effective publication” might be restricted in future.
