[f. as ochlophobia + species.]
(See quot. 1967.)
| 1962 F. White in D. Nichols Taxon. & Geogr. 79 Such species cannot be satisfactorily subdivided and could conveniently be distinguished from monotypic and polytypic species by calling them ochlo-species. 1967 Gardens' Bull. XXII. 6 White has coined the useful and appropriate term ochlospecies for species showing a complex reticulate pattern of variation. 1972 G. T. Prance in Flora Neotropica IX. 109 Licania heteromorpha is a good example of an ochlospecies. |
