On streamlining the Ukrainian names of plant. Information 13. Taxonomic diversity and names for subtropic fruit plants of the Khorol Botanical Garden collection

Abstract

Purpose. To analyse the taxonomic composition of subtropical plants of the Khorol Botanical Garden collection. Results. Taxonomic composition of the collection, consisting of 25 species: Actinidia chinensis Planch., Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal, Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze, Chaenomeles ×californica Clarke ex Weber, Citrus trifoliata L., Cormus domestica L., Crataegus azarolus L., Crataegus opaca Hooker & Arn., Cydonia oblonga Mill., Diospyros virginiana L., Elaeagnus multiflora Thunb., Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb., Feijoa sellowiana O.Berg, Ficus carica L., Hovenia dulcis Thunb., Laurus nobilis L., Maclura tricuspidata (Carrière). Bureau, Olea europaea L., Passiflora incarnata L., Prunus armeniaca L., Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A.Webb, Punica granatum L., and Ziziphus jujuba Mill., which according to the current classification belong to 22 genera, 15 families, 8 orders of flowering plants was found out. Each species represents a certain fruit crop: apricot, azarole, pawpaw, quince, akigoumi, American persimmon, pomegranate, goumi, service tree, Chinese date, kiwi, che, laurel, olive, mayhaw, almond, medlar, Oriental raisin tree, fig, passion fruit, trifoliate orange, pineapple guava, pistachio, tea, and Japanese quince. Conclusions. The taxonomic composition of the collection of subtropical plants in the Khorol Botanical Garden was specified and the Ukrainian names of 17 taxa of the species level, 12 of the generic, 4 of the family and 5 of the ordinal levels were streamlined. The Ukrainian names of botanical taxa need to be brought into line with the modern phylogenetic system, correcting inconsistencies inherited from Soviet times. The naming of genera of subtropical cultures in the Ukrainian language occurs most often through the transliteration of the corresponding Latin names or the formation of new names with direct word order in two-word names using long-learned names of related genera. The names of subtropical crops in the agrobiological terminological system may coincide with the names of botanical genera or are borrowed trivial names of plants in different languages from the regions from which they were introduced. Two-word names of crops and species names differ in word order, respectively, direct and reverse.
