Abstract
Nomenclatural standards have been prepared for seven cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) cultivars, namely ‘Astraxanskaya Krasavicza’ (WIR-109254), ‘Zhemchuzhina Kaspiya’ (WIR-109255), ‘Kaspijskaya Zarya’ (WIR-109256), ‘Kigach’ (WIR-109257), ‘Lyanchixe’ (WIR-109258), ‘Pasta Grin’ (WIR-109259), and ‘Samma Nova’ (WIR-109260) bred in VIR using accessions from the collection of grain legume genetic resources and maintained in the VIR collection. The herbarium specimens were prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), registered in the VIR Herbarium database and deposited in the Type Specimens Section of the Herbarium of Cultivated Plants of the World, their Wild Relatives and Weeds (WIR) at the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources.
