Science - Botany | | Italian term or phrase: drosera sp. pl. | Sto traducendo un testo in cui ci sono dei nomi di piante. Ad un certo punto compare:...tra le più interessanti vi sono le drosere (Drosera sp. pl.).
So che drosera= sundew. Quello che non capisco è quel "sp. pl." che compare solo nei siti italiani (pare dunque che in ingl. non rimanga così), e che viene associato alla Drosera Rosolida, la cui traduzione non trovo da nessuna parte.
Qualcuno sa per cosa sta "sp. pl."? Devo tradurlo? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responsepaolamonaco (asker): 2:04am Feb 18, 2005: p.s. ho visto che compare anche nei nomi latini di altre piante. Purtroppom però, solo nei siti italiani.
Michele Fauble: 5:27am Feb 18, 2005: Can you give more of the context? It is possible that it equals 'Drosera sp.', which means a plant of the genus Drosera, species undetermined. -
Michele Fauble: 6:04am Feb 18, 2005: 'sp.pl.' = 'specie plurime'. It is equivalent to 'spp.' , which is used in English language writings.
-
Michele Fauble: 6:10am Feb 18, 2005: Forget the bit about Linnaeus' Species Plantarum (Sp. Pl.). That was wrong. -
paolamonaco (asker): 4:25pm Feb 18, 2005: Michele, il contesto putroppo è poco...è la descrizione di un giardino botanico, con l'elenco delle piante che ci sono; l'elenco comprende il nome italiano comune e il nome latino tra parentesi. Dunque, se tra parentesi al posto di "drosera sp. pl." scrivo "drosera spp.", non è sbagliato, vero?
Michele Fauble: 6:52pm Feb 18, 2005: Correct. Just remember to capitalize the genus name (Drosera). Correct species nomenclature is genus capitalized, species lower case. -
Michele Fauble: 6:55pm Feb 18, 2005: That should be FIRST LETTER of the genus capitalized. -
paolamonaco (asker): 8:24pm Feb 18, 2005: Ok. Thank you very much!

Or perhaps it\'s equivalent to \'Drosera spp\', (Pl.= plural?) meaning \'Drosera species\'.
species (abr. sp., pl. spp.)
A fundamental category of taxonomic classification that ranks below a genus and above subspecies; a population or series of populations whose individuals have the potential to freely breed with one another and that is discontinuous in variation from other populations or series of populations. The plural abreviation \"spp.\" is usually used to refer to all the individual species within a genus, e.g., Cornus spp. refers to all the plants within the dogwood genus.
