Abstract
SummaryIt is recommended that the orthography of Forsskål's family name to be used in bibliography and when referred to in scientific papers is ‘Forsskål.’ The abbreviation recommended for citation in connection with Latin plant names is ‘Forssk.’ When used for the formation of Latin scientific names a number of the variant spellings proposed in the past can be accepted, e.g. with ‐s‐ or ‐ss‐, and with or without ‐h‐, depending upon the choice of the original author. The choice, however, should be restricted to the consonants alone; deviation from an orthography in which the first vowel is ‐o‐ and the second is ‐å‐ (transcribed according to Art. 73.6 as ‐ao‐ in Latin plant names) should be treated as an orthographic error and hence corrected. The history of the special Scandinavian letter ‐å‐ is briefly outlined.
