Term change

  • Submitter: Quentin Groom
  • Efficacy Justification (why is this change necessary?): To add much needed clarity to the names of hybrids, particularly for plants were they are common.
  • Demand Justification (if the change is semantic in nature, name at least two organizations that independently need this term): The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code) states that ...

"For nomenclatural purposes, the hybrid nature of a taxon is indicated by placing the multiplication sign × before the name of an intergeneric hybrid or before the epithet in the name of an interspecific hybrid, or by prefixing the term “notho-” (optionally abbreviated “n-”) to the term denoting the rank of the taxon" Article H.3.1.

  • Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): none
  • Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: none

Current Term definition: https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/#dwc_taxonRank

Proposed attributes of the new term:

  • Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): The taxon ranks of algae, fungi and plants are defined in the nomenclatural code (Schenzhen Code) in articles H3.2, H4.4 and H.3.1.
  • Examples (not normative): addition of nothogenus, nothospecies and nothosubspecies to the examples
