173 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)<br />
rgr.: see registered genetic resource.<br />
rite: according to the rules.<br />
Rochester Code: (bot., obsol.) an enunciation of principles of botanical<br />
nomenclature produced in 1892 which served as a basis for the<br />
American Code (q.v.).<br />
rogue: see off-type.<br />
roguing: (cult. pl.) the removal of living off-types (q.v.) from a crop.<br />
Roman script: a writing system using the Roman alphabet.<br />
Roman type: the printer's normal vertical type-face (as in these words). (1)<br />
(zool.) proscribed for scientific names above the rank of genus from<br />
the last Code; not regulated by the previous Codes. (2) (bot., prok.)<br />
used for ranks either above family or above genus in some editorial<br />
traditions, but not in the Code itself where italics are consistently<br />
employed. (3) (cult. pl.) used for the names of cultivar and Group<br />
designations; (4) (vir.) infraspecific names; see also italic type.<br />
romanization: the placing of ideographs, signs or letters of a non-Roman<br />
alphabet writing system into Roman script; cfr transcription.<br />
round brackets, ( ( . . . . ) ): (1) (bot., phyl., phyt., prok., zool.) around the<br />
name or abbreviation of an author in an author citation of a name,<br />
indicating that that author employed the epithet or name in a<br />
different position or rank from that in which it is being used. (2)<br />
around a date following an author citation, the date of establishment<br />
(availability, valid publication) of the name. (3) (bot., unoff.) around<br />
a subgeneric name inserted after a generic name, indicating the<br />
subgenus to which a species belongs (e.g. Ranunculus (Batrachium)<br />
aquatilis). (4) (bot., zool., unoff.) around one generic name inserted<br />
after another generic name to indicate that the species is sometimes<br />
(or was formerly) placed in the bracketed genus (e.g. Pilosella<br />
(Hieracium) flagellaris). (5) (mycol., unoff.) around one generic<br />
name inserted after another generic name to indicate the generic<br />
placement of the teleomorph of an anamorph (e.g. Aspergillus<br />
(Emericella) nidulans). (6) (zool.) around a specific name placed<br />
between a genus-group name and another specific name to indicate<br />
that the species belongs to a particular species aggregate (e.g.<br />
Ornithoptera (priamus) croesus); see also interpolated name.
