`tsn:41107` (ITIS), `urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:320035-2` (IPNI), `2704179` (GBIF), `6W3C4` (COL)

This term should be used to refer to the taxonID of a Taxon record that represents the usage of the terminal element of the scientificName as originally established under the rules of the associated nomenclaturalCode. For example, for names governed by the ICNafp, this term would establish the relationship between a record representing a subsequent combination and the record for its corresponding basionym. Unlike basionyms, however, this term can apply to scientific names at all ranks. For Darwin Core Archives the related record should be present locally in the same archive.
