<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="Courier New"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">I would like to know if a neotype of the name of a taxon could be chosen among the specimens of a taxon
which is a heterotypic synonym? For example, can we designate the epitype of the binomial combination "Ab" by the name "Cd" if Ab and Cd are synonyms (here, heterotypic synonyms)? I can't find the article in the International Code of Nomenclature for botany
(Melbourne Code).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
