Lichenes, Algae (except Nostocaceae, Desmidiaceae, Oedogoniaceae), Myxomycetes and Bacteria, all of Recent plants only. It is agreed to associate generic names which first appear in Linnaeus's Species plantarum ed. 1 (1753) and ed 2 (1762-1763) with the first subsequent description given under those names in Linnaeus's Genera plantarum ed 5 (1754) and ed 6 (1764).This means that all generic names accepted and published by Linnaeus in the Species Plantarum, even if not accompanied by a description, are treated as having been validly published on 1 May 1753.- (Stafleu,F.A: TL2, 4769).
