50 Terms used in Bionomenclature<br />
permits compound names of syntaxa that include a prefix, e.g. Eu-<br />
Vaccinio-Piceenion, Xerobromenion.<br />
compounding form: in a compound word or a scientific name, the form of<br />
ending of that in the non-final position; (bot.) to be formed in<br />
accordance with the classical usage.<br />
con-: a prefix used before the name of a taxonomic rank to indicate<br />
separately named taxa (i.e. ones based on different nomenclatural<br />
types) but which are considered to belong to a single taxon of the<br />
specified rank; e.g. confamilial, congeneric, conspecific.<br />
concept, hypothetical: see hypothetical concept.<br />
concoctotype: (zool., unoff.) a complete holotype made from several<br />
incomplete specimens.<br />
conculta, [conc.]: (1) (cult. pl., unoff.) proposed as a rank term between<br />
subprovarietas and cultivar. (2) (cult. pl., unoff.) a category of<br />
cultivars related by morphological or other characters, and<br />
sometimes cultivated together; an agrotypus (q.v.) or convarietas<br />
(q.v.).<br />
concultivar: (cult. pl., unoff.) proposed as a rank term between variety and<br />
cultivar.<br />
condensed formula: (bio., bot., cult. pl.) the name of a hybrid genus or<br />
graft chimaeral genus (cult. pl. only) constructed from parts of the<br />
names of the parent genera involved (e.g. xAgropogon for Agrostis x<br />
Polypogon); treated nomenclaturally as generic names; see also<br />
multiplication sign.<br />
conditional: (1) (zool.) of the proposal of a name or a type fixation, one<br />
made with stated reservations. (2) (zool.) of the inclusion of a taxon<br />
in another taxon at a higher rank, made with stated reservations; see<br />
provisional name.<br />
conditionally suppressed name: (1) (zool.) the older of two names<br />
considered as subjective synonyms which may still be used when<br />
either the taxa denoted by the names are regarded as distinct or it is<br />
the valid name of a taxon subordínate in Rank to, and included in,<br />
the taxon denotaed by the later name (e.g. a subgenus within a<br />
genus). (2) (phyl.) a name that is suppressed only in phylogenetic
