p.s. I WILL get back to this list about Bonaventure's suggestion of grexes
(greges), which recently have got a "warning" in the ICNCP (cultivated plant
code) as a system that should not be followed all that easily because it
produces a diarrhoea of names, of which the usefulness is questionable and
the duration limited. Same goes for hybrid genera, which have exploded in
orchid "nomenclature".
