Hi James,

unfortunately 6.1 only applies if the subgenus is part of a bi/trinonmial.
If the name itself IS the subgenus it is apparenlty valid. For sure its common practice even for recently published names:

It imiles that Ficus (Diconoficus) could be a scientific name only as a part of binomen or trinomen, e.g. Ficus (Diconoficus) gayana.

It implies, I meant.
