International Association for Plant Taxonomy
The International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) promotes an understanding of plant biodiversity, facilitates international communication of research between botanists, and oversees matters of uniformity and stability in plant names. The IAPT was founded on July 18, 1950 at the Seventh International Botanical Congress in Stockholm, Sweden.〔IAPT web site.〕 Currently, the IAPT headquarters is located in Bratislava, Slovakia. Its current president, since 2011, is Vicki Funk of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.; vice-president is Sandra Knapp of the Natural History Museum, London; and secretary-general is Karol Marhold of the Institute of Botany, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava.
Both the taxonomic journal ''Taxon'' and the series ''Regnum Vegetabile'' are published by the IAPT. The latter series includes the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'', the ''Index Nominum Genericorum'', and ''Index Herbariorum''.
==Purpose==
The IAPT's primary purpose is the promotion and understanding of biodiversity—the discovery, naming, classification, and systematics of plants—for both living and fossil plants. Additionally, it promotes the study and conservation of plant biodiversity, and works to raise awareness of the general public to this issue. The organization also facilitates international cooperation among botanists working in the fields of plant systematics, taxonomy, and nomenclature. This is accomplished in part through sponsorship of meetings and publication of resources, such as reference publications and journals.
The IAPT also seeks to achieve uniformity and stability in plant names. It accomplishes this through the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'', previously known as the ''International Code of Botanical Nomenclature'', and through the oversight of the International Bureau for Plant Taxonomy and Nomenclature.
