Abstract: | Regarding two recent examples of "substitution" of authors' names in "Flora of Turkey" (Vol. 10 supplement 1988), the author discusses Art. 9.1 of the Code of Botanical Nomenclature which states that the holotype be represented by a single specimen except for herbaceous plants of "small size." He proposes that an exception be extended to all holotypes collected in a state which does not permit sure identification. In such cases, the incompletely collected sample could be completed by a second sample obtained from the first one by culture. |
