E.T. phone home! Here's the stuff, albeit marginal:
- Is File:Geastrum welwitschii.jpg a black and white image?
- In taxonomy; sentence "Patricio Ponce de León in his 1968 world monograph of Geastrum, considered the species a fornicate variety of G. javanicum, and described it as Geastrum javanicum var. welwitschii; this is now a synonym."
- Whenever a mycologist describes an established species as a var. of another,
is the revert to synonym status pretty casual?
- Whenever a mycologist describes an established species as a var. of another,
- This is interesting. In similar species; paragraph "According to mycologists Hemmes and Desjardin, the most common earthstar in the coastal Casuarina forests of Hawaii is a species "closely allied" with G. welwitschii, which they name Geastrum aff. welwitschi. It differs from the main species in its much coarser pyramidal warts on the exoperidial surface, a sessile and sac-shaped endoperidial body, and smaller spores. They likened the roughened outer surface of the exoperidium to lychee fruit."
- Is it uncommon for a "closely allied" fungal specimen to be considered neither a variety nor a distinct species? I figure that's pretty much the purpose of the 'aff.' designation... I've not seen that before.
- Your usage of the term 'fornicate'; my wikt may be mistaken context, but you're meaning "raised and arched" every instance? Rcej (Robert) - talk 06:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
