Sadly, that just proves the point about language's high degree of variability. Many species are known by more than one Latin (scientific/binomial/etc...) name. These names can change quite a bit. (I'm still not completely over the Great Bean Species Massacre of the '80s. Alas for Phaseolus aureus!). Then there is the Turkey Oak debate...

Nice thoughts though, Eric. I wish you a year of peace.
