Etymology of cerasiformis edit

The authors, Brooker and Blaxell gave "derived from 'cerasus' (Latin:cherry) in allusion to the 'bunch of cherries' appearance of the pendent inflorescences."^[1]
Euclid gives "Latin cerasi-, of cherries and -formis form, referring to the pendulous clusters of flower buds."^[2]
Sharr has "cerasiformis: L cerasus a cherry + -formis -shaped (refers to the clusters of fruit: Eucalyptus)"^[3]
