Λεκτότυπος, σημαίνει ένα σύντυπο, σχεδιασμένο για ένα μόνο τύπο δείγματος που φέρει το όνομα του είδους.

Example sentence(s):

Ως αποκορύφωμα αυτής της διαφωνίας στην αναγνώριση των δειγμάτων στον τομέα Genea μπορεί να θεωρηθεί η εργασία της Sales (1992), στην οποία ισχυρίζεται ότι o λεκτότυπος* που συνόδευε την περιγραφή του Bromus sterilis L. δεν ανήκε σε εκείνο το είδος, αλλά στο B. diandrus ROTH. - Personal theses
