asiaticum
Asiaticum is a Latin adjective meaning “of Asia” or “Asian.” In scientific naming, it appears as a species epithet (and less commonly as a subspecific epithet) and is often used to indicate a geographic association with Asia. The form asiaticum is the neuter ending, but the epithet can appear as asiaticus or asiatica to agree with the gender of the genus.
In taxonomy, asiaticum is not a taxon in itself but part of the binomial or trinomial name
Naming conventions in zoological nomenclature (ICZN) and botanical nomenclature (ICN) require Latinization of epithets and agreement
Ambiguity can arise if epithets with similar forms appear in different taxonomic groups or if a taxon
