editMost refs that could help on this don't even give a common name-- (The Plant List, for example). I'll check in Flora of the Great Plains as soon as I find my copy, but I really think the hyphen should stay. These names are sometimes concatenated for simplicity-- e.g., Douglasfir or Douglas-fir is clearer than Douglas fir, because this is not a true fir (Abies). Nice article, though! --Araucana (talk) 16:14, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Here are two more votes for the hyphen: Plant-Life.org (Montana), Arizona Flora (Kearney & Peebles). --Araucana (talk) 18:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
