Re: plant names

About those punctuation marks within the parentheses, the editors of a Macmillan book I worked on in 1990 had me use British punctuation (period or comma outside the parentheses) but only for botanical nomenclature. USA punctuation was used elsewhere. On another project the editors did it the other way. I don't see nomenclature punctuation done the British way lately in the USA but it depends on the editor.

Here's what AP says and what I have always followed:
