[Vi to]

That's the reason why the idea of "reciprocating" via Wikipedia is always
wrong.

Here is a plant name (*Viola Wikipedia*), which may be first name to honor
Wikipedia.

Hello,

According to the international plant names index [0], the name is 
illegitimate [1] and the plant actual name is "Viola angustifolia".  We 
should probably have the created articles to be renamed toward the 
legitimate name instead :]


It is still a great token of appreciation, and I am quite happy to see 
Wikipedia being of good use for plant research!

Hello,

I am not able to access referenced PDFs right now, assuming it's
authoritative enough. I hope it's not a prank, specially considering its
name...

The authors gave a detailed explanation for their choice of the epithet
Wikipedia.



“Etymology: We Watsons investigate and write up all our publications at
home. We are retired on small pensions, belong to no institution, and work
privately on a largely self-funded basis. In the past, we have visited the
herbaria and libraries at K and SGO regularly, and once or occasionally B,
CONC, LIL, MERL, P, SI, and ULS as well. But for various reasons we are
very seldom able to travel to any these days, and have only managed two
such visits in the last five years. So now, at the very apogee of our
'publication era', we are totally dependent on our indispensable home
library and ... the Internet. Without the latter, we could literally
achieve nothing of scientific relevance. It provides information from such
a wide number of reference sources and personal contacts that it is
impossible to even begin to think about listing them all. However, one is
particularly outstanding in that we consult it constantly for information
on a wide variety of subjects related to our work - Wikipedia, as cited
herein for example. The best token return we can think of is to name a
plant accordingly, so it therefore gives us pleasure to record our
gratitude via the replacement epithet of this species, as a noun in
apposition.”
