Auctorum

With auctorum (Latin authors, abbreviated auct. ) Is featured in the botanical taxonomy of a lack of certain species name, ie one which is used by authors for a type that does not include the type of the first description.

After the ICBN such a lack of certain name as Latin name followed by " auct. non descriptor of type: Reference the false description " shown. The incorrect assignment of Ficus stortophylla by De Wildeman & Durand to that described by Vahl kind Ficus exasperata would therefore represented as " F. exasperata auct. non Vahl: De Wildeman & Durand " ( to be read as Ficus exasperata by the authors De Wildeman & Durand not used in the sense of Vahl ).
