Yes, I think it would depend on the name that was latinized and the gender of the genus to conform. Rick Rodich

The expert would be "Boiss." who published the name. Contact your local library's Interlibrary Loan person and ask for a copy of the original paper. It will have the original spelling and also typically the origin of the name. Was it named for someone named Rambur or someone named Rambure?

A plant being offered in the current BX is one that I grew under the
name Scilla ramburei. At one point that was correct. The taxonomists now
seem to think it should be a subspecies of Scilla verna, but how to
spell it is confusing. Jim McKenney if he were still alive could
probably help. I see on IPNI that it was published as Scilla ramburei,
although Plants of the World Online spells it as Scilla ramburii and
IPNI also has the spelling Scilla verna ssp. ramburii. World Flora
Online has Scilla ramburei as a synonym for Scilla verna subsp.
ramburei. Any experts out there to explain what spelling we should use?
