Information about Ternary Name
In botanical nomenclature, the ICBN prescribes a "three part name" (ternary name) for any taxon below the rank of species. The ranks below that of species explicitly allowed in the ICBN are
A connecting term should be placed before the infraspecific epithet to indicate the rank. It is customary to italicize all three part of a ternary name. For example:Examples
- subspecies (subspecies) - recommended abbreviation: subsp., but "ssp." is also in use
- varietas (variety) - recommended abbreviation: var.
- subvarietas (subvariety) - recommended abbreviation: subvar.
- forma (form) - recommended abbreviation: f.
- subforma (subforma) - recommended abbreviation: subf.
- a genus name, a specific epithet and an infraspecific epithet.
A connecting term should be placed before the infraspecific epithet to indicate the rank. It is customary to italicize all three part of a ternary name. For example:
- Acanthocalycium klimpelianum var. macranthum
- Astrophytum myriostigma subvar. glabrum Backeb.
Examples
- Adenia aculeata subsp. inermis de Wilde
- Identifying de Wilde as the author who published this name. Note that here it was decided not to indicate authority for the species
- Pinus nigra var. pallasiana (Lambert) Asch. & Graebn.
- Here, Lambert published the epithet in a name at the rank of species (Pinus pallasiana) and the taxon was subsequently reduced to a variety of Pinus nigra subsp. nigra.
- Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold subsp. salzmannii (Dunal) Franco
- Here, J.F.Arnold is the author who gave the species, European black pine, its botanical name; Dunal is the author who published Pinus salzmanii being the first to use the epithet salzmannii for this taxon; Franco is the author who reduced the taxon to a subspecies in Pinus nigra
Sometimes a listing will include more than three parts, but this is not a botanical name, but a classification. The zoological equivalent of a ternary name is a trinominal name or trinomen.
