ditto. I hated idents. I had to remember the names by image association, you know betula pendula..pendulum swinging etc. Anyone know the name Rubus cocburneatus? spelling might be out but you get the idea. That made me laugh lots, plant idents are short on laughs and big on twigs. We were supposed to know 6000 plants full names when we graduated, I think i had abot 1000 and now about 200, mainly trees.

R. cockburnianus.. ouch. That's got to be an association with 'cottaging'.

[Jason James Gairn]

I can't find mention of it on the web. I wonder if it's had a name change due to its overt suggestion.

OOOh cottage cheese!!

I found it but had to sign up and certify I was over 18:scared1:

 

Don't think the cottage cheese industry is what it was in these parts. LA cutbacks removing conveniences.

Mentally? I always find such questions confusing.

Clearly no one English speaking on the nomenclature committee that day.
