(2597) Proposal to reject the name Potamogeton nerviger (Potamogetonaceae)

Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

Replacing the taxonomically clear name P. xassidens by the controversial name P. xnerviger in a completely different interpretation from any accepted previously and would constitute an undesirable and disadvantageous nomenclatural change for purely formal reasons. We therefore propose rejection of the name P. nerviger under Art. 56 of the ICN.
