97 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)
bibliographic citations to link the name of a person with the
bibliographic details of the work being referred to.
in adnot., [in adnotatione]: in an annotation; i.e. as written by hand or
typed on a specimen label or in a note written or pasted into a book.
in herb., [in herbarium]: (bot.) sometimes used to indicate names written
on specimen labels but never validly published.
in litt., [in litteris]: in correspondence; in a letter or other document; see
also pers. comm.
in press: of a manuscript, one delivered to a printer or publisher and
accepted for publication but which has not yet been printed and
distributed (i.e. is not yet effectively published and available) at the
time of writing; often used in bibliographic citations where the
actual page numbers of the paper or book chapter are not yet known.
in sched., [in schedula]: on a printed specimen label, especially ones from
an exsiccatum printed and distributed separately from the
specimens.
in situ: in the original location.
in syn., [in synonymis]: sometimes used of a name that was listed in
synonymy when published.
-ina: (bot., unoff.) a suffix to signify a suprageneric taxon purposefully not
assigned by their author to any formal rank recognized by the Code.
inadmissible: (1) not admissible (q.v.). (2) (bot.) a name in a form that
precludes its valid publication, or the use of a name or epithet,
contrary to the provisions of the Code.
inadvertent error: an incorrect spelling, such as a lapsus calami, or a
copyist’s or a printer’s error, not intended by the original author.
-inae: (1) (bot., prok.) a suffix added to indicate that a name is in the rank
of subtribe. (2) (vir., zool.) suffix added to the stem of a generic
name to form a name in the rank of subfamily.
inappropriate name: a name that denotes a character, or a quality, not
possessed by the taxon bearing that name (e.g. a species given the
epithet “africana” when the holotype was actually collected in the
USA).
