BOTA-NOM : A Botanical nomenclature management
In Botalista.Software (BLS), the BOTA-NOM module centralises the management of taxonomic names and cultivars used within your collections.
It acts as Botalista's name reference: names managed in BOTA-NOM can then be used throughout the different application modules, including acquisitions, cultivated collections, seed lots and herbarium specimens.

The module can be used to:
- search and view existing names;
- manage taxonomic names and their associated information;
- manage cultivars;
- create or edit names according to the user's permissions;
- use these names throughout the other Botalista modules.
