You mentioned : " Oh! ... the suffix '-ensis' normally suggests 'of belonging to some place'. I had not thought of *Osyris* genus; again in which case, it would have been osyrioides ." Yes, I am aware of the suffix denotations , but 'taxonomists' don't always name correctly and often connotational meanings may apply...e.g., where the Sandalwoods grow in the taxonomists view... I was thinking outside the 'box' for answers... I hope someone can provide an answer which is clearer to your working perspective.. regards, Ron On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 1:22 PM, Ron_Convolvulaceae <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Dinesh ji , >> >> You asked >> "¿ *oh-syr-EN-sis* ? -- ¿ of or from Syria ? ... *Help needed to know >> the meaning"* >> >> I am not certain but perhaps : >> >> osyr from Greek osyris >> >> Osyris is a genus of plants in the Family Santalacea - many known as >> Sandalwoods. >> >> Perhaps some relation to Sandalwoods in some way...(?) >> >> regards, >> >> Ron >> >> >> >> On Saturday, March 17, 2012 2:19:01 AM UTC-4, Dinesh Valke wrote: >> >>> *Argyreia osyrensis * (Roth) Choisy ... one of synonym: *Argyreia >>> imbricata* (Roth) Sant. & Patel >>> >>> >>> >>> - *ar-GY-ree-uh* -- from the Greek *argyro*, (silver), referring to >>> the leaf margin color >>> ¿ *oh-syr-EN-sis* ? -- ¿ of or from Syria ? ... *Help needed to know >>> the meaning* >>> *im-brih-KAY-tuh* -- shingled, overlapping >>> ...
