Thanks a lot Dr Pankaj, great learning, this might help my student who wants to pursue a technical botanist career in future, i am more concern with knowing the scientific names of my pending posts, including the long pending ones.
But, before we end this nomenclature issue may i know how do you underline a scientific name in written document? You use a continuous underline from genus to species and subspecies/var., if exists, or you break the underline for each segment?
