It was never my intention that anyone should be attacking Dr Tucker. I only offered information that he wrote in an article.
I am not a taxonomist; heck, I'm not even a good housekeeper.
In case anyone missed it, here again is an article which tries to explain that the Perilla Magilla is a Coleus. It may well have been written by Dr Tucker, but it was published in the Herb Society of America so at least they think his opinion has some value.
