Dear all

I always thought that group names were equivalent to the English
'Parliament', which is used in the singular, though it is a body which
consists of many parliamentarians (unlike 'data' which is a plural). Hence,
if you want to use #1, use 'lamiaceans'.

More importantly, what do you mean by 'strongly'?
