Summary The recognition of infraspecific chemical differentiation and the existence of several infraspecific taxa at a definite moment of the metabolism, has resulted in some differences in scientific concepts. The author sets forth his suggestions in connection with some of these problems. The polychemism known to occur now in more than 600 species and the recognition in general of chemical taxa, makes compulsory a wider application of the rules of nomenclature as put forward e.g. by Tétényi in 1958 and 1960.
