This group of fields conains three fields, Type Qualifier, Type
Status and Basionym, which covers the typification of the name of the taxon as
directly related to the accession record.
Description: This field provides standard terms to qualify the
identification of the type of the name of the record when doubts exist.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; as listed in the following table:
| Values in Field |
| Possibly |
| Probably |
| ? |
| Not |
Comments: This field is used in conjunction with Type Status
(below). If the Type Status field is not filled, then this field must not
be used.
TDWG Short name: TYPESTATUS
Description: A code indicating the type status of the record.
Relevant standards: TLR
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; standard abbreviation, as listed in
the following table:
Values in Field Meaning of Abbreviation
| EPI | epitype |
| HOLO | holotype |
| ISO | isotype |
| ISOLECTO | isolectotype |
| ISONEO | isoneotype |
| ISOPARA | isoparatype |
| ISOPARALECTO | isoparalectotype |
| ISOSYN | isosyntype |
| KLEPTO | kleptotype |
| LECTO | lectotype |
| NEO | neotype |
| PARA | paratype |
| PARALECTO | paralectotype |
| SYN | syntype |
| TOPO | topotype |
| TYPE | Unknown type material |
Comments: This field is not to be filled if the record is
not one of these kinds of type.
Although topotypes have no taxonomic or nomenclatural status, the
category has been included for those who may wish to interchange this information.
Description: The plant name (frequently the basionym) of which
this specimen is a type, not necessarily the accepted name for the taxon.
Relevant standards: TLR
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; a valid plant name, including
relevant rank identifiers (such as subsp., var.,) as required, conventional capitalisation
of name and author.
Comments: Although a specimen may be the type of more than one
basionym, this field must hold the most recent known name. When a specimen is the
type of more than one basionym, then the following additional fields refer to the second
most recent basionym, together with its type status: Type Status of Second Most
Recent Basionym and Second Most Recent Basionym fields (Transfer codes: tsta2
and basnam2, respectively). If more earlier basionyms are to be transferred, then
the third most recent values are interchanged in the : Type Status of Third Most
Recent Basionym and Third Most Recent Basionym fields (Transfer codes: tsta3
and basnam3, respectively), and so on, as appropriate. The type qualifier field may
be required to provide qualification to the identification of the types of the various
earlier basionyms. These additional fields are briefly described below.
If the record is not a type, then this field must not be
filled.
Description: This field provides standard terms to qualify the
identification of the type of the name of the second most recent basionym of the
record when doubts exist.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; as listed in Type Qualifier Flag
field (above).
Comments: This field is used in conjunction with Second Most
Recent Type Status field (below). If the Second Most Recent Type
Status field is not filled, then this field must not be used.
TDWG Short name: TYPESTATUS
Description: A code indicating the type status of the second
most recent basionym of the record.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; standard abbreviation, as listed in Type
Status field (above).
Comments: For further information refer to previous TYPIFICATION
GROUP fields (above).
Description: The second most recent basionym of which this
specimen is a type, not necessarily the accepted name for the taxon.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; a valid plant name, including
relevant rank identifiers (such as subsp., var.,) as required, conventional capitalisation
of name and author.
Comments: For further information refer to previous TYPIFICATION
GROUP fields (above).
Description: This field provides standard terms to qualify the
identification of the type of the name of the third most recent basionym of the
record when doubts exist.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; as listed in Type Status field
(above).
Comments: This field is used in conjunction with Third Most
Recent Type Status field (below). If the Third Most Recent Type
Status field is not filled, then this field must not be used.
TDWG Short name: TYPESTATUS
Description: A code indicating the type status of the third
most recent basionym of the record.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; standard abbreviation, as listed in Type
Status field (above).
Comments: For further information refer to previous TYPIFICATION
GROUP fields (above).
Description: The third most recent basionym of which this
specimen is a type, not necessarily the accepted name for the taxon.
Domain/Range/Values: Alpha; a valid plant name, including
relevant rank identifiers (such as subsp., var.,) as required, conventional capitalisation
of name and author.
Comments: For further information refer to previous TYPIFICATION
GROUP fields (above).
Notes: If additional TYPIFICATION GROUP fields are required for
fourth, fifth, etc. basionyms and types, then they should be transferred in the same
format as the previous fields.
