Since we seem to have members on the PBS forum who are versed in Latin or linguistics, I would like some clarification of spelling, if possible. Calochortus westoni when first described was spelled thus. It has morphed into C. westonii, repeated in recent articles and even in the Jepson Manual. What gives? The same applies to C. gunnisoni, now spelled C. gunnisonii. I thought from my extremely distant memories of Latin that the "i" ending means "of" or "from" or "belonging to" or something of that sort, so why put two of them? Then what about C. leichtlinii, C. nuttallii, C. coxii, C. howellii, C. lyallii and C. weedii? And then there's Camassia cusckii etc., etc. Comments appreciated. Diana Telos Rare Bulbs
