Art. 23.6, example 10 under c: "Secretan (Mycographie suisse, 1833) introduced a large number of new specific names, more than half of them not binomials, e.g. *Agaricus albus corticus, Boletus testaceus scaber, Boletus aureus carne lutea*. He is therefore considered not to have consistently used the Linnaean system of binary nomenclature and none of the specific names, even those with a single epithet, in this work are validly published". *Ref*.: M., Flora 17(1) Lit. 6: 90-95. 7 Mai 1834 (rev.).
