''Nomen illegitimum'' (Latin for illegitimate name) is a technical term, used mainly in botany. It is usually abbreviated as ''nom. illeg.'' Although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants uses Latin terms for other kinds of name (e.g. ''nomen conservandum'' for "conserved name"), the glossary defines the English phrase "illegitimate name" rather than the Latin equivalent.〔''Melbourne Code'', (Glossary )〕 However, the Latin abbreviation is widely used by botanists. A superfluous name is one kind of illegitimate name. Again, although the glossary defines the English phrase,〔 the Latin equivalent ''nomen superfluum'', abbreviated ''nom. superfl.'' is widely used by botanists. ==Definition== A ''nomen illegitimum'' is a validly published name, but one that contravenes some of the articles laid down by the International Botanical Congress.〔(Melbourne Code ) (2012)〕 The name could be illegitimate because: * (article 52) it was superfluous at its time of publication, i.e., the taxon (as represented by the type) already has a name, or * (articles 53 and 54) the name has already been applied to another plant (a homonym). For the procedure of rejecting otherwise legitimate names, see conserved name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「nomen illegitimum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
