Sorry, I don't understand that either. ~:-)

Maybe -- but for the PhyloCode this doesn't matter. The PhyloCode is =
only=20
for naming clades. The problem of how to name species will be tackled=
=20
later, in a separate document.

(However, the PhyloCode makes it possible not to use species if you t=
hink=20
they don't exist. Some people think so.)
