typification
The type method is used to name taxonomic groups based on selecting a representative type specimen. The type specimen fixes the name of the taxonomic group and is permanently associated with it. There are several kinds of type specimens depending on how they were selected, including holotypes, isotypes, syntypes, paratypes, lectotypes, neotypes, and topotypes. The type specimen is usually a single preserved plant housed in a known herbarium and identified by collection details.
