1916J. P. Lotsy Evolution by Means of Hybridization i. 23 Forms from which we know nothing else than that they breed true to type, may consequently not be designated as species but must receive another name; as such I propose Jordanons. 1963Davis & Heywood Princ. Angiosperm Taxon. xi. 378 The formation of numbers of morphologically uniform populations, all easily separable from each other and eligible for consideration as distinct taxa..is well known to the practising taxonomist who often refers to the populations as microspecies or Jordanons after the nineteenth-century French botanist who described so many breeding lines as distinct ‘true’ species. |
