Thanks Neil... I have question for you and Dr Gurcgharanji esp... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eranthemum
says *Eranthemum pulchellum* is the only species in the genus *Eranthemum*. [1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eranthemum#cite_note-0> that ref number one is : *^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eranthemum#cite_ref-0> * "*Eranthemum*"<http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=500268>. Integrated Taxonomic Information System<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Taxonomic_Information_System>. At url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Taxonomic_Information_System *yet when I looked for **Eranthemum roseum got * About 3,940 results (0.34 seconds) and some nice info.... So what is this “ITIS”… what sort of authority does it have ????… And can someone knowledgeable from our group go in and edit/correct these ambiguities in the respective wiki pages? Is it possible? thanks usha di ======= On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 1:20 PM, Neil Soares <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Thanks & affirmative.
