TAXONOMY. “Cowan defined taxonomy as composed of three ingredients: (i) classification, (ii) nomenclature, and (iii) identification of the unknown. At present, in taxonomy, the tail certainly wags the dog! Nomenclature, the least important ingredient and the least time-consuming, has its Code and Rules; classification, the most important ingredient of taxonomy, has nothing.”
