P. gardneri

[Ernie]

Arrgh. I thought I had this taxon under control. Note to self, don't post just before bed- i'll never sleep now.

Ok, how would one latinize "Wilhelmina"??? I have Braem's opinion on hand and verify Elena's comments. But it all comes down to the original literaure and any emmendations.

I love this stuff (weird, I know)...

This one has been brought up a few other times Ernie. What do you mean by the OD reprint? The 2000 Checklist by Koopowitz? (I have that)

I have the checklist too. No, look at the bottom of the page I linked. It mentions a 1980 O Digest. Here's where the problem lies, authors spell it how they want. I love Lance's book, but it spells it both ways on the same page. The Wiliams cite will settle the case, but I doubt UIC has old AOS bulletins on hand.

Nice wilhelminae Eric. These plants put out multiple growths so it should get hugh in a few years

Regardless of spelling, Cribb (1998) and Koopowitz (2000) both seem to ignore Garay's review (1998) which splits gardneri from wilhelm, leaving gardneri synonymous with wilhelm.

Thanks all for questioning this! Kudos for not letting it slide easily- our own internal peer-review system. But I still won't be happy until I see Williams' article.

I dunno, Ernie, I think it was probably just a typo :evil:
