The rules and recommendations of the 2018 version of International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants, agreed in Shenzhen, China, stipulates that proposals for new taxonomic ranking should fully reference the basionym of a taxon as well as the page number of the work in which it was published. Two cases where the lack of one or both of these details are rectified here.
