Nomenclatural standards for the spring oat cultivars (<i>Avena sativa</i> L.) developed in the Urals and Siberia by I. V. Varganova, V. Е. Kardashina, L. V. Bessonova, R. I. Vyatkina, N. V. Lebedeva

“…According to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), a cultivar is regarded as documented when its nomenclatural standard has been formalized and published. This procedure attaches a cultivar name to a herbarium specimen, and makes it possible to refer to such specimens when the taxonomic affiliation of a cultivar is being disputed. …”
