3. They can't seem to agree whether it is spelled roebelinii or

roebelenii. IK has roebelinii.

Ah. An Orthography question.

Apparently the species was named after a Mr Roebelen
The Original Spelling is _roebelinii_
It can be argued both ways:
1) maintain the Original Spelling: _roebelinii_
2) correct to the recommended form: _roebelenii_
Both lines of argument will have their adherents, but the latter are winning
(have just about won).
