nah, just didnt "rise to the occasion" lol

 

phalus impudicus is apt, and funny, though old and I thought "scrotiformis" meaning pouch shaped was a good reply?:lol:

Getting back to the more, ahem, mundane names, I like auricula - little ear and ferox - fierce, which is very apt for the Holly cv. with that name

Don't know much but believe that sepervirens is ever green!

Semper - always

Virens - green

 

We have come to this understanding of sempervirens.

If the latin is translated , it would be more accurate to say

semper-always

virens-living

hence-everliving: so "evergreen"

Just a bit of trivia.....:001_smile:

Im sure the latin writing should be Sextus erectus pinus? Just from when we did latin. My teacher said it was the rudes tree thing he'd found 'meaning six upright pines'?

The Latin pleurotus (sideways) refers to the sideways-growth of the stem with respect to the cap while the Latin ostreatus (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which resembles the bivalve of the same name.
