15.1. Names sanctioned under Art. 13.1(d) are treated as if conserved against earlier homonyms and competing synonyms. Such names, once sanctioned, remain sanctioned even if elsewhere in the sanctioning works the sanctioning author does not recognize them.
15.2. An earlier homonym of a sanctioned name is not made illegitimate by that sanctioning but is unavailable for use; if not otherwise illegitimate, it may serve as a basionym of another name or combination based on the same type (see also Art. 55.3).
15.3. When, for a taxon from family to and including genus, two or more sanctioned names compete, Art. 11.3 governs the choice of the correct name (see also Art. 15.5).
15.4. When, for a taxon below the rank of genus, two or more sanctioned names and/or two or more names with the same final epithet and type as a sanctioned name compete, Art. 11.4 governs the choice of the correct name.
15.5. A name which neither is sanctioned nor has the same type and final epithet as a sanctioned name in the same rank may not be applied to a taxon which includes the type of a sanctioned name in that rank the final epithet of which is available for the required combination (see Art. 11.4(b)).
15.6. Conservation (Art. 14) and explicit rejection (Art. 56.1) override sanctioning.
