Genera named for people

In this edit, I removed (for each name that was redlinked) a link to the last section of the Wikidata page for that person. This section of Wikidata gives you links to relevant pages on other-language-versions of Wikipedia and on Wikispecies, Wikisource and Commons. There's a lot of information on some of these people that could be very useful for editors who want to create articles and lists here on the English Wikipedia. - Dank (push to talk) 15:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Re:Davilla

According to George Don in 1831, it was named after Henry Catherine Davilla an Italian historian who died in 1599.[1] Although there is an Italian historian called Enrico Caterino Davila (1576 – 1631) on wiki !!! Normally I would take Lotte's book but this is an older source?? Am trying to write the Davilla genus article, so am going to put both options in the taxonomy section.

Thanks for your work updating the links, much appreciated. I'll give you all the info I have. The only Wikipedia that has an article on Pedro Franco Dávila is the Spanish one: es:Pedro Franco Dávila. Burkhardt's citation is to Vand. (that's Domenico Vandelli), 1788. Commons has copies of some of his material. Davilla isn't in Quattrocchi or Gledhill. Mut (at http://edicionesdigitales.info/plantgenera/plantgenera.pdf) also gives Pedro Franco Dávila, and says that this wasn't mentioned in the original publication, and cites Wittstein (see the introductory section of this list), p. 265. - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
