Thanks for the support Julius. I would like everyone to
keep in mind I don't consider any responses to be "attacks", although I
understand what Julius is trying to say. To the contrary, I started this
to try to find answers and that is still what I am attempting to do. I
would truly like to know what the other unidentified plants in this discussion
actually might be!

I have tried to include pertinent responses from all sides of
this question. Some feel other plants have as much right to use the name
Santa Leopoldina as does P. spritus-sancti. And perhaps they
do! I just am of the opinion that since P. spiritus-sancti is of
such importance, and is now so endangered, perhaps it has more of
an inherited right to the name. My responses from Brazilian Mauro
Piexoto would appear to indicate just that. Certainly, it appears to have
much greater right to the name than plants that don't even come from the region
where the town of that name is found is SE Brazil.

I am just very anxious for Eduardo and other qualified experts
to join the comments!
