Dear Mr. Valke, I am seeking a verification about the name of the scientist in whose honour this genus is named. I ask because I often visit Thailand where we have several kudzus and I have some local literature which credits the name as M. W. Puerari. I am getting mixed results on the internet, M. W. as well as M. N. Puerari. Thanks in advance for any help in this regard and compliments for your haunting photography.
