| Definitions | | Linnaean nomenclature |
|
noun - The current taxonomic nomenclature in biology, as governed by the ICBN, ICZN and ICNB. This nomenclature accepts the work by Linnaeus as a starting point (except for specified groups and ranks).
Etymology: Introduced deliberately (c 2000) by proponents of the PhyloCode? as a pejorative term, to suggest age and obsolence: a nomenclature due to be supplemented or replaced by nomenclature governed by the PhyloCode?.
