*Copies*: MO, NY, U. A manuscript pseudomechanically reproduced by lithography and as such effectively published. All generally known species of the time are cited in the usual way but also (mostly) subdivided in numerous microspecies. These microspecies are designated by binomials. Gandoger accepted therefore two categories of species.
The category for which he used the conventional names can be chosen by us as Gandoger's category of species as understood by the Code; this is purely a choice of convenience. The second category is then infraspecific; the binomials denoting those taxa are not validly published and can be disregarded for purposes of nomenclature (ICBN, Art. 24). The use of two ranks of species also contravenes ICBN, Art. 33. The Eleventh International Botanical Congress (Seattle 1969) decided to cite Gandoger's *Flora europae* as an example under this article making it clear that the binomials denoting Gandoger's microspecies (second category) are not validly published; this aim could also have been achieved by applying Art. 4, para 2, in view of the element of confusion (McGillivray 1972). These 150.000 of infraspecific binomials are now placed outside the domain of botanical nomenclature. The circumstance that Gandoger regarded his micro-species as his "true" species does not take away the circumstance that he accepted binomial nomenclature for the conventional species as well in the same publication. A "fair" solution of this problem is difficult to reach; the Code now recognises the circumstance that Gandoger's "specific binomials" have been consistently ignored (correctly, from the nomenclatural point of view) by the great majority of botanical authors. For a discussion pro and contra see Fuchs (1960), Rothmaler (1962), Greuter (1968, 1968), Meyer (1969), and Almborn (1969, 1972).
