Sample text

Similarly, variations in spelling are given for some names and these are also to be found in the literature, although not all of them are strictly permissible for nomenclatural purposes. Their inclusion emphasizes the need for uniformity in the ways in which names are constructed and provides a small warning that there are in print many deviant names, some intentional and some accidental. Many of the epithets which may cause confusion are either classical geographic names or terms which retain a meaning closer to that of the classical languages.

For the registration of a new cultivar name, it is also recommended that designated standards are established. These may be herbarium specimens deposited in herbaria, or illustrations that can better define colour characteristics, or documentation held at a Patents Office or a Plant Variety Protection Office. In each case, the intention is that they can be used as reference material in determining later proposed names. This brings the Cultivated Code closer to the Botanical Code and is a small step towards the eventual establishment of an all-encompassing Code of Bionomenclature.

We also find rusci- meaning butcher’s-broom-like or resembling Ruscus and -folius a -um meaning -leaved, and we conclude that this species of fleshy-scarlet-berriedone has leaves resembling the prickly leaves (leaf-like branches or cladodes) of 30 Glossary Ruscus. The significance of this generic name lies in the fact that dry fruits are more typical in members of the box family than fleshy ones. From this example, we see that names can be constructed from adjectives or adjectival nouns to which prefixes or suffixes can be added, thus giving them further qualification.
