T.violaefolium

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.07.15 at 16:28:39(5126) The spelling of the name is a bit of a discussion. If we take it that Gagnepain named it because the leaves look like that of a Viola species, then the correct name is T. violaefolium......... So that's a third alternative. And that is probably the correct one, since that is how Gagnepain published it in the first place. There has been some discussion on whther the name would be derived from "violius" but that I never understood. So, let's try (incl. myself) to stick to T. violaefolium. Wilbert

From: Jody Haynes webmaster at plantapalm.com> on 2000.07.17 at 22:06:33(5143) Pete, it is my understanding that the pronunciation of "ae" is a long "e" (with the "a" being silent), rather than a long "i".

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.07.17 at 22:07:25(5144) Blast!!! Just as I was trying to get used to "violaefolium". Strange though, that Dan Nicolson said it should be violaefolium when based on "viola"......... I asked him once.

But, in my defence, I was using ICBN art. 60.8, exp. 11, 12. Pete +More ---------------------------- Peter Boyce Herbarium Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE Tel.
