95 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)<br />
identification: a statement of similarity of new specimens to a named taxon<br />
by the application of the same name.<br />
identification number: (unoff.) a proposal to replace taxon names by<br />
numbers first made by C. Michener in 1963, but retaining<br />
hierarchical ranks; see also positional number..<br />
ideograph: the distinct character or figure symbolizing the idea of a thing<br />
without expressing the name of it (e.g. the Chinese language is<br />
written in ideographs)..<br />
ideotype, [idiotype]: (1) (palaeo. zool., obsol.) a specimen from some other<br />
locality than the original type (i.e. not a topotype) that has been<br />
identified by the original author of the name to which it is referred,<br />
generally at a date subsequent to the publication of the original<br />
description, but which is not also a topotype. (2) (not nomenclatural)<br />
the conceptual ideal or archetype of a taxon. (3) (cult. pl.) the<br />
conceptual idea or archetype of a series as used in the seed industry.<br />
(4) (not nomenclatural) the total hereditary determinants of an<br />
individual, comprising chromosomal and extrachromosomal factors.<br />
idiogenotype: (zool., unoff.) the first type designated after an original<br />
publication; see lectotype, logotype.<br />
idionym: (obsol.) a homonym due to some error in identification of two or<br />
more specimens which were suggested to be members of the same<br />
species (e.g. Parietaria judaica Willd. 1805 nec Strand 1759); a<br />
misapplied name.<br />
idiotype: see ideotype.<br />
IJSB: see International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology.<br />
IJSEM: see International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary<br />
Microbiology.<br />
illegitimate name, [nomen illegitimum, nom. illegit.]: (bot., cult. pl.,<br />
phyt., prok., vir.) a validly published name that is not in accordance<br />
with one or more rules in the Code (principally those on superfluity<br />
and homonymy); such names must be rejected unless conserved;<br />
illegitimate names are validly published but are not to be taken into<br />
consideration for the purposes of priority when the correct name of a<br />
taxon is being decided.
