Re: [aroid-l] Anthirum faustinamarino

From: Tom Croat Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2002.11.20 at 21:04:14(9621) Dear Derek: You are correct. I deliberately shorted the name to faustmiranae because Fausto is a shortened version of Faustino and I preferred to make the name as long as possible.

That is the way it was published and that is the spelling that should be used. Hate to be pedantic, but a couple of variations in spelling are already floting around, and pretty soon, if history is any guide, some of the Florida nurseries who have got hold of it are going to be claiming that their plant is indeed a diffeent and vastly superior species. Excuse me if I sound tired of the name game as the industry plays it!
