Thanks for the research Anita.
Whew! I can sleep now! :)
I agree with Jim and Craig. Probably won't change anything. I'll probably
still call them "Kingsvilles" along with everyone else and I can get back to
worrying about multiple car payments!

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.

Jim Lewis -

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.
