Talk:Tropaeolum

message: J R R Tolkien, himself something an expert on the English language (he was after all Oxford's Merton Professor of English Language and Literature, and a very distinguished philologist) asserted that a common anglicization of the name was "nasturtian" rather than "nasturtium". His letter to Katherine Farrer of 7 August 1954 - of which there is a summary at http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Letter_148 - says 
     But nasturtians is deliberate, and represents a final triumph over the high-handed printers. Jarrold’s appear to have a highly educated pedant as a chief proof-reader, and they started correcting my English without even referring to me: elfin for elvin, farther for further, try to say for try and say and so on. I was put to the trouble of proving to him his own ignorance, as well as rebuking his impertinence. So, though I do not much care, I dug my toes in about nasturtians. I have always said this. It seems to be a natural anglicization that started soon after the ‘Indian Cress’ was naturalized (from Peru, I think) in the 18th century; but it remains a minority usage. I prefer it because nasturtium is, as it were, bogusly botanical, and falsely learned. I consulted the college gardener to this effect: 
    ‘What do you call these things, gardener?’
    ‘I calls them tropaeolum, sir.’
    ‘But, when you’re just talking to dons?’
    ‘I says nasturtians, sir.’
    ‘Not nasturtium?’
    ‘No, sir; that’s watercress.’
And that seems to be the fact of botanical nomenclature…" 
I must say I like Tolkien's use of the word "just" in the reported dialogue with the college gardener.Thomas Peardew (talk) 09:04, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: As it is unreferenced who can say? But the OED has a separate entry for "nasturtian" ("corrupt form of nasturtium") with four examples starting in the early 18th century, so it would be easy to add a reference if it weren't evidently trivial.

Talk:Tropaeolum tuberosum

message: This was what was already in the artice: "The tubers comprise as much as 75 percent of the mature plants by dry weight (40 percent is typical for cereals)."
When I tried to find a source for this statistic, I came across this: "The proportion of dry matter reaching the tubercle can by [sic] up to 75 per cent." (see Peace Diaries Workspace)
I have added the information from the second quote into the article, but I wonder whether this is where the original statistic quoted came from.  It is almost certainly a misinterpretation, but it could be that the first quote needs to be removed, as the second one replaces it.
In any case, the "40 percent is typical" part needs a source.  Leevclarke (talk) 16:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: On 18 July 2009, a change was made that links to the genus Nasturtium, whereas previously there was a link to the disambiguation page between the genus Nasturtium and the genus Tropaeolum, which includes the garden flower commonly called Nasturium.  This change was mistaken, as Mashua (or Añu or Isañu) belongs to the genus Tropeaolum (and therefore is related to the garden nasturtium, and not the genus Nasturtium.  As this is a little bit complicated, and I am new to this, I will not try to change it just yet, but it should be corrected.  I could click "undo" - but it would be better to link to the genus Tropeaolum page.Api11aYacheq (talk) 05:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Babaco

message: According to The Plant List, the correct name should be Carica x pentagona Heilborn. The current name used in Wikipedia (Vasconcellea heilbornii) is a synonym. MKwek (talk) 04:29, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, The Plant List is misrepresenting its sources in this case. TPL says that the source for Vasconcellea heilbornii being synonymized under C. pentagona is Tropicos. The Tropicos record for V. heilbornii doesn't synonymize it. The Tropicos record for C. pentagona shows that name being synoymized under various combinations of the epithet heilbornii (most recently as Vasconcellea heilbornii). While many (mostly older) sources do state that babaco is C. pentagona, there is no good source synonymizing V. heilbornii under C. pentagona (just an erroneous listing in TPL).  Vasconcellea heilbornii is the most recently used name for the species by V.M. Badillo. Wikipedia follows Badillo's classification for all the other species in Carica and Vasconcellea. While I don't understand Badillo's decision to leave Carica monotypic (do papayas not have any close wild relatives?), it seems better to consistently follow this single classification, then to mix and match competing taxonomic opinions.Plantdrew (talk) 17:49, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Gurung language

message: If someone has any idea of what a bipolar question is or what is cv ccv or cccv. or what are the relations between gurung as language or as an ethnic group (if there are such) you may want to edit the article. Okyea 10:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: CV, CCV and CCCV are (unless the writer has used them for something else!) syllable structures: they stand for Consonant-Vowel, Consonant-Consonant-Vowel and Consonant-Consonant-Consonant-Vowel.  e.g. CV CCV CCCV could be [ta] [tra] [stra].  So this suggests all Gurung syllables are "open", i.e. can't have anything after the vowel.  See Syllable#syllable structure.
