中国银杏目化石中有一些不符合国际植物命名法规的名称:1)在发表新种时未明确指定模式标本的有下列名字:Antholithus yangshugouensis Zhang and Zheng,Baiera borealis Wu,Datongophyllum longipetiolatum Wang,Dukouphyllum noeggerathioides Yang,Ginkgo xiahuayuanensis Wang,Ginkgoidium crassifolium Wu and Zhou,Ginkgoidium eretmophylloidium Huang and Zhou,Ginkgoidium longifolium Huang and Zhou,Ginkgoidium truncatum Huang and Zhou,Ginkgoites rotundus Meng,Ginkgoites subadiantoides Cao,Ginkgoites tasiakouensis Wu and Li,Ginkgophyllum zhongguoensis Feng,Ginkgophytopsis fukienensis Zhu,Pseudotorellia longilancifolia Li,Sphenobaiera acubasis Chen,Sphenobaiera bifurcata Hsüand Chen,Sphenobaiera chengzihensis Zheng and Zhang,Sphenobaiera crispifolia Zheng,Sphenobaiera fujianensis Cao,Liang and Ma,Sphenobaiera micronervis Z.Wang and L.Wang,Sphenobaiera multipartita Meng and Chen,Sphenobaiera qiandianziense Zhang and Zheng和Sphenobaiera setacea Zhang;2)1996年1月1日后仅用汉语发表而未提供拉丁语或英语的特征集要和描述的名字:Antholithus ovatus Wu,Eremophyllum latifolium Meng,Ginkgo taipingensis Gong,Ginkgoites yaojiensis Sun,Sphenobaiera beipiaoensis Mi et al.,Sphenobaiera qiadamensis Zhang等也都不是合格发表的名称。囿于种种条件和篇幅所限,本文仅给出最后这六个种的英文特征集要,予以重新发表;3)Glossophyllum longifolium Yang(1978)一名已被Glossophyllum?longifolium(Salfeld)Sze and Lee(1963)先期占用,为非法的晚出同名,本文将其重新命名为Glossophyllum?yangii Yang,Wu and Zhou(nom.nov);4)Sphenobaiera huangi(Sze)Krassilov(1972)和Sphenobaiera huangii(Sze)Hsü(1954)都因没有直接而清楚地引证基名而成为不合格发表的新组合,李星学(1963)合格发表了这个新组合,即Sphenobaiera huangii(Sze)Hsüex Lee。
A number of fossil ginkgoalean plant names from China are illegitimately and/or not validly published. In this paper we enumerate all these nomenclatural errors under the guidance of International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code) (ICN in abbreviation). 1) Antholithus yangshugouensis Zhang and Zheng, Baiera borealis Wu, Datongophyllurn longipetiolaturn Wang, Dukouphyllurn noeggerathioides Yang, Ginkgo xiahuayuanensis Wang, Ginkgoidiurn crassifoliurn Wu and Zhou, Ginkgoidiurn eretmophylloidium Huang and Zbou, Ginkgoidiurn longifolium Huang and Zhou, Ginkgoidiurn truncaturn Huang and Zhou, Ginkgoites rotundus Meng, Ginkgoites subadiantoides Cao, Ginkgoites tasiakouensis Wu and Li, Ginkgoph yllurn zhongguoensis Feng,Gink goph ytopsis f ukienensis Zhu, Pseudotorellia longilanci f olia Li, Sphenobaiera acubasis Chen, Sphenobaiera bi - furcata Hsti and Chen, Sphenobaiera chengzihensis Zheng and Zhang, Sphenobaiera crispifolia Zheng, Sphenobaiera fujianensis Cao, Liang and Ma, Sphenobaiera micronervis Z. Wang and L. Wang, Sphenobaiera multipartita Meng and Chen, Sphenobaiera qiandianziense Zhang and Zheng and Sphenobaiera setacea Zhang have no definite indication of the type specimen, so they are not validly published (vide, Art. 8.5, 9.15, and 40. 1 of the ICN). 2) According to Art. 43.1 of the ICN, Antholithus ovatus Wu, Eremophyllum latifolium Meng, Ginkgo taipingensis Gong, Ginkgoites yaojiensis Sun, Sphenobaiera beipiaoensis Mi et al. and Sphenobaiera qiadamensis Zhang are not validly published names because they are all published after 1 January 1996, and not accompanied by a Latin or Eng- lish description or diagnosis, or by a reference to a previously and effectively published Latin or English description or diagnosis. All these above-mentioned designations should be validly published according to the ICN. In this short note, no attempt is made to accomplish such a task, but we validly publish the last six species names with English diagnoses in accordance w
