Hi Susan,

For any botanical epithet to be accepted it must have been validly and
effectively published on or after Jan. 1 1753 (sorry, typo in my first
posting).

This is the date that Linnaeus' Species Plantarum was first published in
1753 and which marks the starting point of plant nomenclature. This also
means that the first names to be considered validly and effectively
published in botany are those that appear in this book, and in Linnaeus'
Genera Plantarum ed. 5 (1753).

Zoology takes it's starting date as 1763
