Beech tree question

[Bren.]

I think the point is in the spelling. It is the same all over the world and means that everyone knows what you are talking about, writing about, or indeed trying to order. Common names are pretty much meaningless in this context.

makes sense now all we need is standardized pronunciation and we might just get somewhere

Wish I hadn't bothered now.

Try "plant names simplified",great book helps with how things should be pronounced!

A bit late, but I am going to add Cedrus libani subsp. atlantica 'Glauca Pendula'.

 

Can any clever-clogs say why this wouldn't be acceptable under the current convention?

 

Longest variety name I have come across is Syringia vulgaris 'Andenken an Ludwig Spath'

Is it because atlantica is already used within the genus as a specific epithet? Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière

No. Good effort though. I think C.a and C.d subsp. a are synonyms, hopefully the system allows for established synonyms under different authorities, but if you know otherwise please let me know.

 

#Anyway the answer is to do with the non-italicised part.
