I finally accepted that plant taxonomists were bound to disagree about names when I realized that Linnaeus had more versions of HIS name than a bamboo has runners.
Carl Linnaeus
Carl von Linné
Carolus Linnæus
Carl Nilsson Linnæus.
"L"
"Linn."
Princeps botanicorum ("Prince of Botanists")
"The Pliny of the North," and
"The Second Adam"
