I have been following this discussion with interest and some good laughs.
Some posters have a delightful sense of humor :).  May I suggest an
inexpensive resource for help in translating the language of plants?  The
"Dictionary of Plant Names, Botanical Names and Their Common Name
Equivalents", Timber Press.  A small (195 pgs) hard cover (but the size of a
paper back book) bargain ($10.95).  Try Barnes and Noble or Amazon, it might
be even cheaper.  By the way Tim, is "Pharinakacea tetragort" pronounced
"TET ragort" or "te TRAG ort"?
