Hemihomonyms
« If two different species, genera or other taxons have the same name, this name is a homonym. Homonyms are illegal if they belong to the same code of nomenclature. If same name belongs to different codes, it is a hemihomonym (Starobogatov, 1991). »

Identity, Nomenclature, Taxonomy, Taxon Concepts
Identification
scientificName
« The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of an Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the identificationQualifier term. »

scientificNameID
« An identifier for the nomenclatural (not taxonomic) details of a scientific name. »

identificationQualifier
« A brief phrase or a standard term ("cf.", "aff.") to express the determiner's doubts about the Identification. »
1. For the determination Quercus aff. agrifolia var. oxyadenia, identificationQualifier would be "aff. agrifolia var. oxyadenia" with accompanying values "Quercus" in genus, "agrifolia" in specificEpithet, "oxyadenia" in infraspecificEpithet, and "var." in rank.
2. For the determination Quercus agrifolia cf. var. oxyadenia, identificationQualifier would be "cf. var. oxyadenia " with accompanying values "Quercus" in genus, "agrifolia" in specificEpithet, "oxyadenia" in infraspecificEpithet, and "var." in rank.
