Summary Reveal. J. L.: Comments on Art. 14, footnote 2: first place of publication for seed plant family names. – Taxon 47: 851‐856. 1998. – ISSN 0400‐0262. A list of 191 family names of Spermatophyta is presented, whose date of valid publication is earlier than the date given in App. IIB of the Code, and authorship usually different. Many of the names were published prior to the arbitrarily accepted but never legally sanctioned starting date for family names in Spermatophyta, 4 Aug 1789. The Code, “for the time being”, authorises maintenance of authorship and date for conserved names listed in App. IIB. The present list foreshadows changes that would ensue were this provisional derogation to be abolished, but a continued search of the literature will likely reveal even earlier names.
