122 persons have been identified, which provides a good record of participants at the sessions. As an aside, it is also important to men-tion that all documents pertaining to the Vienna nomenclature section have been retained within the IAPT archives (these still in Vienna but to be sent to the permanent archives in Berlin after IBC Melbourne).

It is encouraging to reflect upon the worldwide participation during the nomenclature sessions in Vienna. Thirty-four countries were represented from the persons successfully identified in the pho-tograph with numbers of participants in each country as follows: Australia (11), Austria (3), Belgium (1), Brazil (2), Canada (3), Croatia (2), Denmark (1), Estonia (1), Finland (2), France (3), Germany (4), Guatemala (2), Hungary (2), Iran (1), Italy (2), Japan (1), Luxemburg (1), Mexico (1), Netherlands (5), New Zealand (2), Norway (1), Pan-ama (1), Poland (1), Portugal (1), Puerto Rico (1), Russia (1), Slovak Republic (1), South Africa (5), Sweden (2), Switzerland (1), Taiwan (2), Turkey (1), U.K. (18), U.S.A. (36). Although the English-speaking countries of the U.S.A., U.K. and Australia had high participation (65 persons or 53%), it is clear that nomenclature issues are a global concern and attract experts from all corners of the world. In this time of severe pressures facing biodiversity, especially plant diversity, it is a very positive sign that the international botanical community is working together effectively to maintain a stable and efficient means of naming. This is clearly of vital importance to botanical science as well as to society as a whole. — Tod F. Stuessy, IAPT, Vienna

NOMENCLATURE SECTION, IBC VIENNA 2005

As we begin thinking and preparing for the next nomenclature section at the Melbourne IBC in 2011, it seemed appropriate to put into the published historical record a photograph of participants at the previous nomenclature sessions at the IBC Vienna in 2005. Many historical group photographs have the people so far spread out laterally that it is difficult to see (and identify) the individu-als. The photograph from the Vienna congress, taken by Rudolph Hromniak of the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna (Hortus Botanicus Vindobonensis), is especially nice and hence of particular historical value.

Here in the IAPT office, we have expended considerable ef-forts to identify persons in the photograph. We first began with our own recognition of friends and acquaintances followed by asking the Rapporteur (John McNeill) and Vice-Rapporteur (Nick Turland) for input. Second, we sent an e-mail to all IAPT officers and council members. Third, we forwarded an e-mail to all persons who regis-tered for the Vienna nomenclatural sessions. Fourth, based on the responses, we sent another e-mail to all persons who were not already identified in the photograph but who registered for the nomenclature sessions. Fifth, we identified a few persons who were photographed and had readable name tags at the evening social event after registra-tion of the nomenclature delegates on 11 July 2005 in the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna. Despite these efforts, 18 people in the photograph remain unidentified. On the positive side, however,

The first number of this journal contains the following articles:• Iwatsuki, Z., H. Kiguchi & T. Suzuki: Notes on the genus Mi-

yabea Broth. (Leskeaceae, Bryopsida) in Japan. Pages 1–5.• Suzuki, T. & Z. Iwatsuki: Fissidens (Fissidentaceae, Bry-

opsida) collections made by Mr. T. Kamiyama in South Su-lawesi (Indonesia). Pages 7–23.

• Iwatsuki, Z. & T. Suzuki: What is Trematodon hakusanen-sis? Pages 25–29 (in Japanese).

• Iwatsuki, Z.: Type specimens of mosses located in the her-barium of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory (NICH) Part 1, species from Japan. Pages 31–70.

• Iwatsuki, Z.: A list of Japanese names of mosses. Part I. Pages 71–124 (in Japanese).

Subscription price of Hattoria, No. 1 is US$15.00 (including postage), and is available from the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, Obi, Nichinan-shi, Miyazaki-ken 889-2535, Japan.

HATTORIA, A NEW JOURNAL OF BRYOLOGY AND LICHENOLOGY FROM JAPAN

The first issue of this new journal was published in April 2010 by the Hattori Botanical Laboratory in support of the development of bryological and lichenological sci-ences. Hattoria will be published an-nually in English and Japanese. Like its predecessor, the Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, which ceased in 2006 due to financial and other problems, contribution of arti-cles to Hattoria will be by invitation, but unlike its predecessor, the new journal will be a thin volume focus-ing on short articles reporting new and original information on bryophytes and lichens.

5TH SYMPOSIUM ON ASIAN PTERIDOLOGY AND FERN SHOW

Under the motto “Recent Advances in Pteridophyte Re-search: Opportunities and Challenges” the symposium will be held at Shenzen Fairylake Botanical Garden (Guangdong, China) from 15 to 21 Nov. 2010.

It is intended to show the richness of the Asian pteridophytes, to disseminate research results on pteridophytes, to highlight the economic importance of ferns and its allies for future commercial

ventures and to strengthen linkages/collaborations with researchers, hobbyists and commercial growers

The main topics are organized in five sessions as follows: Ses-sion 1: Taxonomy, Biosystematics and Flora; 2: Phylogeny, Evo-lution and Genome; 3: Gametophyte Development and Culture Propagation; 4: Phytochemistry and Pharmaceutical Botany; 5: Biodiversity, Conservation and roles of Botanical Gardens in Plant Research and Conservation.
