Thanks Kay~~absit invidia.
I am totally sure that if she had used Latin then none would have
responded.


What makes you say that?

I meant that the information she would have received would have been
related to Mare's-tail~Hippuris [Greek!] which is not what she wanted. There
are more than enough of us to have responded accordingly. This being an
instance when the botanical name would have been a hindrance. Mare'-tail was
not what she intended and not what we assumed!! Even worse, one of us is
employed as a Botanical examiner/reader.
Best Wishes Brian.
