Correct name

In botany, the correct name according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) is the one and only botanical name that is to be used for a particular taxon, when that taxon has a particular circumscription, position and rank.

[2] The name must be validly published, a process which is defined in no less than 16 Articles of the ICN.

[6] Since taxonomists may disagree as to the circumscription, position or rank of a taxon, there can be more than one correct name for a particular plant.

Thus this tree species will have a different correct botanical name for different people.

[12] The Prokaryotic Code inherits many concepts, including that of a "correct name", from the ICN.
