Talk:Dendropanax

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Eugeneccampbell

I switched the spelling of "morbiferus" to "morbifera."

When I searched on Google for "Panax morbiferus" it corrected my spelling to "morbifera" and returned 768 links. When I insisted on the "morbiferus" spelling there was not even one hit. This is in line with some printed literature in English I have from Agency for Jeju Plant Resources (Republic of Korea), which uses the "morbifera" spelling. I checked several of the Google links and it is clear that "morbifera" is the accepted spelling on the internet. No idea what's in the libraries of the world, but this change is certain not to create confusion.

I created a stub for the species, and will fill it out as I get more information -- first of all I need to find the plant's range.
