Thanks for the history lesson Neil! I did know that not all names were Latin but didn't know Linnaeus borrowed words from other languages!

I lived in Rickmansworth for a few year so I know exactly what you mean by 'a most cold and wet England'! The hardest part about living there was the Fall and Winter when it would get dark so early.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
