Shinde ji Could you kindly provide some more information about this reference? A bigeneric name generally is formed by combining the first part (or whole) of one genus and second part (or whole) of second genus. The classical example is X*Triticosecale* (Triticum aestivum x Secale cereale). Of course there is no binomial available for this, being man-made hybrid.
Binomials are available for some naturally formed intergeneric hybrids. Here is an example: X*Agropogon lutosus* (Agrostis stolonifera X Polypogon monspeliensis) Trinomials we generally use for infraspecic taxa. I would be interested to know what trinomial is meant in this reference. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
