%X There are 167 taxa listed in the Flora of Taiwan, 2nd edition, with epithets of [formosa] and its derivatives, and [formosensis] in the different taxonomic ranks which literaturaly designate the island of Taiwan. Namely these are 2 formosae, 103 formosana, 42 formosanum, 11 formosanus, 1 formosense and 8 formosensis. In order to avoid confusion in using the epithets of formosae, formosana, formosanum, formosanus, formosense and formosensis for Formosan (Taiwan) plants under the same genus, we propose to amend Art. 53.3 Ex. 9 with addition of a phrase [formosae, formosana, formosanum, formosanus, formosense and formosensis for native and endemic plants on Taiwan only] to the end of the sentence of Article 53.3 Ex. 9 of  International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN, Vienna Code, 2006).
