Iris, the answer is very simple ... they made a mistake ... there are thousands of entry errors in IK ... Plant names spelled wrong, Author names spelled wrong,
wrong authors named ... anything ... I used to send them the corrections ... hundreds and hundres of sheets (which they requested) ... I once asked the question to the
responsible editor of Oxford University Press ... She simply shrug her shoulders and said: "Whatever the people at Kew enter, we print." (This is one of the cases were the Einstein quote most definately applies.)


Thus, you always verify an IK entry against the original literature.
