It's easy to go down the wrong path here. And I've learned to be suspicious of everyone (sorry) in this regard.
A noted author wrote of Crocus imperati "But, truly named, it lords over it all." But the name of the crocus is based on the name of the Italian botanist Imperato. The wikipedia entry for Baccharis says this: "The genus is named after <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus> Bacchus, the Roman god of wine." Jim McKenney
