Dear Jim, I disagree completely. Although I did present a typo (knew the spelling difference as seen in the book), a conscientious registrar should never accept a second name that will cause confusion of any sort. Combine my bad typing, with any one's pronunciation of the two words and you have a real problem - one you first raised about the relationship between these two plants. The ICNCP* would not approve. There isn't much we can do about except complain and point out the difference. Best Jim W. * Int. Code for Names of Cultivated Plants -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
