Thanks, Anita. It's nice having such a tremendous resource as
the National Arboretum in the "neighborhood," I bet. I'd guess
he's not the only "Authority" on the staff.

Does anyone care to place any bets as to whether this
information -- no matter how widely disseminated -- will change
anything in what bonsaiests call this plant?

I don't.

Sorta like calling a photocoper a "Xerox" machine or tape "Scotch" tape even though
both of those are name brands for a product. There isn't any way all of society
will make that change or will see the need to do so. I will try to be more correct
in my usage, but it will be an uphill climb and I don't have the energy for the
battle. More important things to worry about.
