Principle 1: plant nomenclature, animal nomenclature and bacteriological nomenclature are independent.
Principle 2: the names of plants or plant groups are based on TYPES which, with rare exceptions, are actual dried specimens of plants.
Principle 3: nomenclature is based on priority of publication. This principle stresses the overriding importance of the first published name and, together with Principle 4, provides a means of determining which of several published names for the same plant is correct.
Principle 4: each plant or group of plants within a particular system of classification can bear only one correct name: the earliest one following the rules.
Principle 5: scientific names are to be treated as Latin.
Principle 6: rules of the Botanical Code are retrospective.
