The fourth of four volumes in Quattrocchi's encyclopedia (R–Z) is on back-order. I've got the other three volumes already, so we'll get the other pages in this list done first, then come back to this one. - Dank (push to talk) 03:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I cite Gledhill if he lists a word that's almost the same as the genus, but I never use his spelling unless someone else backs it up. - Dank (push to talk) 03:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm changing the selection criteria (for this page only) to delete the genera derivations that Stearn lists as "obscure" or nonexistent, or namesakes that are "little-known". Thanks kindly to Nomen ambiguum for last night's edit, which indicates a problem we haven't had with the previous lists (yet). Maybe it's random, but for this page (covering Q to Z), there are significantly more dead ends. Deleted so far: Ratibida, Ricotia, Roscheria. The table now has 518 rows. - Dank (push to talk) 03:10, 20 November 2020 (UTC) Now deleting Schima, Spergula, Talinum, Tolpis, and Tripsacum (4 "obscure", one "no derivation"). Table will have 513 rows. - Dank (push to talk) 03:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I may have gone to far is assuming that the Manuel Rodriguez, royal apothecary, cited by Ruiz & Pavon ("Genus dicatum D. Emmanueli Rodriguez Pharmacopoeo Regio , et in Botanices scientia versatissimo.") was the same as Juan Manuel Rodriguez de Luna, teacher of Gaspar Casal and also a royal apothecary, Manuel Rodriguez being a very common name.
In this edit, I removed the etymologies from 4 rows where the plant name already existed in Classical Latin or Greek. I'm working on putting some classical etymologies in a different series of lists. - Dank (push to talk) 21:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
