Talk:Autonym (botany)

message: At a cursory look the example: "when the name Lycopodium inundatum var. bigelovii was published (in 1843), " did not appear to stand up, so I left it out. Brya 20:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article IS all citation from the ICBN, which is mentioned as its source in line 1. The different articles are cited for the different statements. I also think there is no better source to cite than the Code, as the meaning, use and priority of the concept are defined and regulated there.
Not having a  section does not mean that no sources are cited. Based upon the above, the tag "this article does not cite any references or sources" was applied without care. I therefore removed it. - Wikiklaas (talk) 17:21, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I replaced the Euphorbia example as this appeared to be a rather complicated one:
The first sections that were published under the name Euphorbia are sect. Anisophyllum Roep. in: Duby, J.-E. (1828), Botanicon Gallicum, pars prima: 412, and sect. Tithymalus Duby, on the same page. Tithymalus is ascribed to Tournefort, the publication cited is Institutiones Rei Herbariae. vol. 1 (1700): 85, t.18 (a pre-startingpoint work). T.18 of Tournefort is cited by Linnaeus in Genera Plantarum ed. 5 (1754): 208, as a synonym for Euphorbia. The same plate is also cited by Gaertner when he published Tithymalus Gaertn., in: De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum, volumen alterum (1790): 115. The type of Gaertners name is Tithymalus peplus (L.) Gaertn. Tithymalus peplus is included in sect. Anisophyllum Roep. in Duby, not in sect. Tithymalus. Are you still with me?
Linnaeus did not designate a type species for the genus Euphorbia. It is therefore hard to say if one of the two sections published by (or in) Duby includes the type of Euphorbia and should be named Euphorbia L. sect. Euphorbia. As the International Plant Names Index (IPNI) only lists sect. Anisophyllum Roep., it is likely that the other section is regarded as including the type of Euphorbia L., but I have no source for that (sect Tithymalus is listed in IPNI but then as sect. Tithymalus Benth. & Hook.f., Genera Plantarum 3(1) (1880): 260).
Without any doubt, this is a very challenging case for professional botanists but it is a bad example for illustrating the use of autonyms. - Wikiklaas (talk) 22:37, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  example of Euphorbia 

message: It is not that I hold a grudge against fungi (except the ones that reach my bread before I do), but it is hard to find bibliographic information for subdivisions of fungal genera or for infraspecific fungal taxa (for plants there is IPNI; Index Fungorum does not do subdivisions of genera). As in establishing autonyms the publication in which they are established plays a crucial role, I did not think it enough to cite only names in the examples. So I gave some examples of a group of which I'm sure I have all bibliographic information at hand. If someone wants to add fungi to the examples, be my guest but please give only examples for which you can provide that important information too. - Wikiklaas (talk) 04:07, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
