dear colleague

i am affraid that your question is not clearly worded.

What is that you are looking for exactly ?

Are you looking for examples of papers describing new botanical species ?

Dear prof. Marc,

No, I am searching for articles about locus classicus.

I have the checklist of new species described from the Surkhandarya region (Uzbekistan) in 1883-2023.

Sincerely,

Obidjon

Dear Obijon

so you are looking for examples of papers listing species described from a given region, with indication of their loci classici (plural form) ?

Marc

Dear prof. Marc

Yes of course! Could you kindly send me any samples that you have?

Best wishes,

Obidjon

Dear Obijon,

about your question –

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269400409_An_inventory_of_the_names_of_vascular_plants_endemic_to_Italy_their_loci_classici_and_types

https://bibdigital.rjb.csic.es/medias/84/39/34/7d/8439347d-dfa1-4199-8964-78350cd17814/files/Cavan_Alt_01.pdf

This was the occasion for me to question the difference between “locus typicus” and “locus classicus”. I interpreted it as : locus typicus = locus natalis of the type ; locus classicus = place where the species is usually collected from.

Apparently authors consider locus classicus and locus typicus as synoms.

Locus natalis is “provenance” for any specimen, right ?

Here is a paper that, according to me, can be considered as a good model for quotation of types and locus typicus.

Article Integrative taxonomy sheds light on an old problem: The Ulot...

It was published in Taxon a reference journal for plant taxonomy, as you know.

I hope this helps

with regards

Dear prof. Marc.

Ok. Thanks! Locus classicus is considered important for representing the species richness of a certain region. For example, the largest number of plant species in Uzbekistan was recorded from Surkhandarya, Kashkadarya, and Tashkent regions.

Sincerely,

Obidjon

You are welcome Obidjon

In Taschkent I had a colleague whos is a palaeobotanist studying fossil wood, just as I do. His name is R.X. Khudayberdyev. Have you heard about him ? I get no news since several years
