Epithet corrections – a bit more
Hi, I noticed that you wrote that the ae forms were "archaic". I don't think this is quite the right word. Earlier botanists formed epithets by using the genitive of the name of a different plant + a noun for the part of the plant. Thus oleaefolium = "of-Olea leaf" = "leaf of Olea". The alternative was to join the two nouns by a "compounding letter", either -i- or -o-, thus oleifolium = "Olea-leaf". The botanical community decided to standardize on the latter, because (as far as I know) this was more classical, and in that sense more archaic. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Peter coxhead: I understand what you are saying, and thanks for the further explanation. Changing the statement to make it correct and keeping it simple however is too difficult for me. Perhaps you can give it a go. Thanks, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
