Richard: Should we define this exactly as the Botanical Code defines it -- e.g., exclusive of novel placements within a different infrageneric context? -- 31 Oct 2004
Gregor: I would say yes. Examples: moving an Iris species from subgenus Limniris to subgenus Xyridion, or from series "Sibiricae" to series "Chinensis" is not a new combination, it is a different expression of taxon hierarchy opinion that does not affect circumscription (and thus neither LinneanCoreNameIdentity nor TCS issues). The same is true for redundant changes in infraspecific hierarchy (moving a variety from one subspecies to another within one species). -- 4 Nov. 2004
