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.
