Hi Alastair,
Catalogue of Life is fine but it contains things that bother me -
unresolved taxonomic issues. For example they state that Basella alba and
Basella rubra are synonyms. This is obviously not correct if you have ever
seen both plants. Have you ever read anywhere that the reddish
Dear all,
Would you consider a Citrus week?
Here is a first teaser.
Would any of those names apply to Citrus grandis / Citrus maxima ?
Would any name be only generic ? this would explain why they are applied to
different species.
Are all the names spelt correctly.
Citrus medica L.
Khasi:
Is there any plant which monkeys dislike? OR doesn't touch? or hates and
never comes near of that plant?

I have never cone across the statement that Basella rubra L. is an invalid
name. It is only that differences are not strong enough to recognize it an
independent species. Since both species were described on the same date in
Species Plantarum of Linnaeus, the author who merged these two species

It would be useful if you can share more photographs of leaves. Yellow
corolla throat and few leaves seen being unlobed suggests this to be I.

I have always failed to understand how 2 different plants can have 2

Dear Mr. Porcher
The latest online version of Flora China (2003), treats B. rubra L. as
synonym of B. alba L.
A agree with you that *Basella alba* L. 'Rubra' appears to be most logical,
but then it accepts merger of B. rubra with B. alba, and merely regards it
