Thank you Shetur ji for pointing this detail out. It is a very valid point, The bringing together of composed names is a bad habit influenced in part by the Americans who do this with English names, and it results from the bad romanized names that one finds everywhere. This is why I have always advocated for having names in their original scripts, then we know where we stand. I will make this correction to the page on Cymbopogon. I hope this topic is not "kind of closed" because it is beginning to get very interesting. I humbly invite you to check my Gujarati index if you wish. I am sure there are plenty of little mistakes there as well. As I said before no matter how hard one tries, nothing beats the fluency of a native speaker. Thanks again. OZmic.
