I am confident I do not have lice (nits).  But if I do get any then you can do
all the "nitpicking" you want. "in tack" was not my preferred tern but as I
think of it in the context that you infer, it makes some sense in the way
plant taxonomy flows from one name for a group of plants to another.

My reference for the species number of Cacalia is "New Britton and Brown
illustrated flora" by Gleason. It's out of print and dated. being copy righted
in 1952.
It's time for me to move on to more current work, just have not had the time.
But I see from your post that not every one is agreed with all proposed taxon
changes.  I find that leads to more confusion than changing the names in the
first place. Where is that international naming committee when you need them!!
