i understand about nitpicking of hybrid names, but it is marketed as a poinsettia on many sites. and it does look like a poinsettia, and not like a bunch of other euphorbias. and granted lots of common names are not correct, but they are still used.
same happened with my musa 'aeae' . other sites list it as musa paradisiaca or musa x paradisiaca. and i saw an argument about it too :). and still all my permutations did not pull it up.
zuzu,
in your above example - the 1st link for 'euphorbia' - what is the sequencing? that's where i believe i did not find it - in all of 50 pages ( i paged, i did).
i assumed that this list is a complete list (i see now that the other list is double the size!). so, what's the difference between two besides alpha sequencing ?
from my layman's point of view it's useless, i can't find anything in it, it's all mixed-up. so why is it set-up as 'the first choice' then? how would you use it?
i know i need to learn more about correct botanical naming, just need some crutches before i get there ;).
and why is it that for some hybrids names indicate 'x hybrid', but for this one it's not correct to use 'x pulcherrima'? or 'x paradisiaca'?
also i just paged thru 'genus' listing - and i can't find 'euphorbia 'pick me pink' there either.... where i expected it. it was at end again in some strange common name mixed up with other names ..on p 123. yes, next time i will just press P on top. but this course of action is not apparent to me.
perhaps, some kind of 'database search primer with examples' is in order? some guidance for laymen? it is a pop-site after all.
i thought i knew enough at least to be able to find it in the database without going thru the 'search manual', but it ain't so!
may be some sort of 'botanical names guide' forum can help?
