message: Acc. to GRIN, Aloysia triphylla is now Aloysia citrodora.  NaySay 17:40, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We wouldn't have these problems if we just used stable common names instead of those inconsistent scientific names (Just kidding.  Mostly).  Seriously, ITIS says that Aloysia citriodora is not accepted and Aloysia triphylla is the accepted name.  They don't have anything under the spelling Aloysia citrodora. You're right about GRIN, though. I'm not sure what to say, in the absence of further research and/or greater expertise. Kingdon 18:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: When searching for "Lemon Verbena" on Google the top result is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysia_citrodora. The description or "snippet" is inaccurate or outdated and describes Lemon Verbena as a "psychedelic drug" instead of a "perennial shrub" as in the actual page description.

replies: text: I have not been able to confirm the Gottschling reference, but from other papers by the same authors, it's clear that they recognize Hydrophyllaceae as a family only by dismembering Boraginaceae s.l. into several segregate families, e.g., Ehretiaceae, Cordiaceae, Heliotropiaceae, etc. (and most certainly are accepting molecular evidence that these comprise a closely related group).  Whether this is preferable to treating all of these clearly related groups as a single, more broadly defined family is debatable (and certainly a POV). As with many other plant families, there is as yet no consensus as to how to treat this group, and no one "correct" placement of a genus like Phacelia. MrDarwin 00:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Taxon 56(1):163-169 and Gilbert et al. 2005 (see reference in the article, this is an excellent work, I recommend the reading to all, for example: "Phacelia is the largest genus of Hydrophyllaceae with approximately 200 species in North and South America. The center of diversity is in California where 93 taxa occur, of which 39 are endemic (Raven and Axelrod 1978). Phacelia range from small annuals to large perennials (Wilken et al. 1993). Constance (1963) put forward an infrageneric classification for Phacelia, naming three subgenera: Cosmanthus, Howellanthus, and Phacelia.").

Talk:Ipomoea alba

message: The name "moonflower" is also applied to a species of Datura grown as an ornamental. (That article is aimed at a non-scientific audience.) That plant blooms at night. The Ipomoea alba that I have seen in the Austin area is a vine, not a shrub, and it blooms during the day, and maybe at night as well. This illustrates the danger of using common names. Although my personal observations are not enough to add Texas to the range of this plant, I see it at construction sites here. It clearly tolerates high temperatures, since I see it on chain-link fences at construction sites, etc. in the heat of the summer. Wastrel Way (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Similar to Mt Fuji?

message: I vote for deletion of the reference pointing out similarity with Mt. Fuji. It's a subjective impression and should not be repeated here, unless the author of the line is known and quotable.
Stratovolcano is a technical word. A link should be provided to be able to learn what it means.
I wonder about the statement "despite its modest altitude...". Is 2650 meters tall, towering over lake Llanquihue and lake Todos los Santos, a modest altitude? Let's stick to sober facts.
Is volcan Osorno known worldwide as a symbol of the local landscape? I doubt, it's a matter of opinion, and it does not make much sense. Delete. 
Is volcan Osorno standing on the southeastern shore of lake Llanquihue? Anybody coming from the other direction will see it first standing on the western end of lake Todos los Santos. The Osorno stands where it stands, and neutrally centered wording will make better reading.
Is Osorno one of the most active volcanoes in the southern Chile Andes? May be; however, volcan Calbuco is the one who over more than a century has provided the volcanic animation and would, imho, better deserve this qualification. 
According to the mainstream geology version, volcan Osorno emerged in a proto-lake and in building up separated the Llanquihue from the Todos los Santos; a few thousand years ago both were only one lake. It will be worth mentioning this mind-stirring tidbit of geological history. A link to Saltos del Petrohue should also be in order here.
Osorno is a name given by administrative decision. The indigenous name was, I believe, Hueñauca. This piece of history is worth mentioning. 
La Picada is said to be the remnant of a proto-Osorno. As long as Picada does not deserve a separate entry, it should be mentioned here.
The botanists Skottsberg traveled as a tourist from Puerto Varas to Bariloche a century ago and left some lines in his diary that could be quoted.

message: The current lede says, "The plant was discovered by Ragbhir Singh Ubhi, in the late 1800s on a hike through a West-Indies Forest, as he noticed the fragrance of the flowers."

Category talk:Chili peppers

message: framed|left|A young "Butch Fairy" with white purple rimmed flower
The Butch Fairy is a derivitive chilli cross bred from the "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" cultivar and has therefore quite a bite to it's level of spice. The peppers are quite small at around an inch or two long and are now in their second full season, so relatively new to the world (as of 2014). Appart from some serious heat and an amusing name (derived from their parentage) they have some extraordinary colour changes through their ripening, as after they their green start they go black, before turning yellow / orange then red to finish.
Created in Norfolk, England by an anonymous hobbyist the Butch Fairy pepper is quite a lively chillie in many ways.

For him to have been an alumnus he would have to have been still in grade school when he founded the Armour Group... or approximately 9 years of age. He graduated from the University of New Brunswick in 1963 . The dates don't make sense. Perhaps he was a graduate of Salisbury Regional High School prior to attending UNB? It was built in the 1940's and served Salisbury and surrounding communities until J.M.A. Armstrong was built.

Talk:Malagueta pepper

message: The article currently discusses the distinction between grains of paradise and this Brazilian chili with sentences like
:(Today, various botanical and culinary writers continue to confuse malagueta chilis and melegueta pepper.)
As is clear from the cites at the OED entry on malagueta (which solely concerns the African pepper), that's simply completely mistaken. There is no distinction whatsoever between malagueta and melegueta: they're just variant spellings of the same exact word and have been applied continuously to the African plant as well as this one.
It would be useful to create separate terms but we can't just pretend that's already happened. It hasn't and this article should be rewritten with the understanding that "malagueta pepper" has always applied and continues to apply to the grains of paradise as well. — LlywelynII 15:31, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

And then I guess, sometimes it's not.  I'm a computer scientist - so I guess I don't deal well with ambiguity.  But come on.  Is this really science?  Is this the best we can do?  This is PRECISELY how we get 'flat earthers' and folks who deny science.  Because apparently people who decide things like "species" (and no, I am not calling them 'botanists' or 'scientists' or anything else) - get to change their minds on a whim.  In my world of science and physics, we either Know or we Don't Know.  We don't have the luxury of saying "sometimes" and or "maybe".

I mean the war has dragged on until 2007, so maybe we can call it the Early-21st Century Iraq War? Man that name is horrible too...

Talk:Wickersham Commission

message: I respectfully offer the following information quoted from an October 24, 1932 newspaper column by H. L. Mencken entitled "PRE-MORTEM"
:"It seems to me that a fair reading of the record indicates that Dr. Hoover expected the Wickersham Commission to bring in a dry report. There were, to be sure, several wets on it, but the chairman, as the events showed, could be trusted, and so, apparently, could a majority of the members. Every hint that issued from official quarters while the commission was sitting pointed to a report satisfactory to the Hoover-Anti-Saloon League combination. Unluckily, there were honest men among the members, even on the dry side, and their investigation convinced them that Prohibition was not only a failure, but also a public nuisance. So they said so in their report.
:"Everyone will recall what painful scenes that report produced in the White House. On the appointment of the commission it had been the public understanding—and it was a fair inference from everything that Hoover had ever said openly on the subject—that its recommendations would be followed. But instead of following them Hoover permitted his office to send out a false version of the report, representing it to be dry in tendency, and then hasten to announce loudly that he was still dry himself, and unalterably opposed to any abandonment of the Eighteenth Amendment. The professional drys rejoiced, but the country coughed behind its hand. There was plainly something tricky about the whole business." (emphasis added)
Source: Mencken, H. L. edited by Moos, Malcolm; A Carnival of Buncombe; Baltimore, John Hopkins Press; 1956 (pages 268-269)
Please note that October 24, 1932 would have been in the waning days of the Hoover administration, only 15 days prior to the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt on November 8, 1932.
Mencken used the title "Dr." ironically, although nearly all the prominent men he skewered in his column had managed to accumulate at least one—and in most cases more than one—honorary LL.D. from this or that university.
