[edit] Some issues

The source I used is not entirely consistent, and in particular there seems to be some difference of opinion as the botanical authority. I've gone with Linnaeus by default (it's a very old plant) but the source gives "J. Herrm." Mangoe 19:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

An author search on the IPNI website agrees with your other source, though it appears as if the standard botanical author abbreviation is Herrm. Unfortunately, IPNI didn't give a date. The APNI, however, lists the botanical authority as J.Herrm. I don't know which to believe! --Rkitko ^(talk) 14:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
