201 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)<br />

topovariant: (cult. pl.) a distinguishable group of plants grown from seed<br />

from a given provenance.<br />

total clade: (phyl.) a clade composed of a crown clade and all organisms<br />

(and species) that share a more recent common ancestor with that<br />

crown clade than with any extant organisms or species that are not<br />

members of that clade; total clades are a subset of branch-based<br />

clades.<br />

totally suppressed name: (zool.) the older of two homonyms which is<br />

suppressed for the purposes of both the Principle of Priority and the<br />

Principle of Homonymy.<br />

trade designation: (cult. pl.) a device that is used to market a plant when<br />

the original name is considered unsatisfactory for marketing<br />

purposes.<br />

trademark: any sign, made from words, letters, numbers, often employing<br />

a recognizable typography, and(or) an icon applied to goods to<br />

distinguish the goods of a particular enterprise from those of its<br />

competitors: see also registered trademark.<br />

transcription: (1) to copy exactly from one written work to another. (2) the<br />

rendering in written form of human speech, especially of languages<br />

employing ideographic or phonetic characters.<br />

transfer: a change (with or without a change in name) in the position of a<br />

taxon, by implication also, transfer of the epithets involved.<br />

transformed: see generically modified organism.<br />

translatio nova, [trans. nov.]: (zool., obsol.) a new transfer; occasionally<br />

formerly used in citations to indicate that a taxon has been altered in<br />

position (either horizontally or vertically) but retains in its name the<br />

epithet from its name in the former position.<br />

translation: the rendering of words from one language to another, as<br />

opposed to transcription (q.v.) or transliteration (q.v.).<br />

transliteration: a literal transcription, the replacement of letters of one<br />

alphabet by equivalent letters of another.<br />

tribe, [tribus]: (1) (zool.) a family-group name below subfamily. (2) a<br />

taxon at the rank of tribe, between subfamily and genus; in such<br />

names have the suffix “-ini” (zool.) or “-inae” (bot.); in (mycol.)
