Term Definition
Splitter A person (usually a plant taxonomist) that recognizes species of plants with narrow morphological variation included in their concept of species. This often results in the recognition of species based on features that would be considered intraspecific variation by lumpers. This narrow concept of species is called splitting of species. Lumper vs. splitter. Cartoon by M. N. Sashital.
