| Summary: | 1) The voting that took place at the nomenclatural session
of the International Botanical Congress (IBC) in Vienna
was illegal from the point of view of parliamentarian
procedure and practical application.
2) Only one species type must be assigned to the genus
Acacia; this would be decided through a new procedure
that follows the established rules.
3) Taxonomically speaking, the former subgenera of the
genus Acacia belong to at least three different lineages that
resolve within the tribe Mimoseae; therefore, the current
debate for assigning a type to the genus revolves around
two of the three subgenera: Acacia (Acacia) and Acacia
(Phyllodineae = Racosperma). |
