And I am still not clear the distinction between dracunculus and dracunculoides. It is the latter term that the company I purchased from is offering as a correction.


A. dracunculoides is Russian tarragon, A. dracunculus 'Sativa' is French. This article from Penn State explains the situation. I'd quote the relevant paragraph but I'm on an iPod currently and it won't seem to paste text into the ATP text box.

It gets complicated when one starts looking into the preferred botanical names and synonyms so best to ignore that aspect.
