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 />

condensed formula: (bio., bot., cult. pl.) the name of a hybrid genus or<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 />
