[Taxacom] An Acacia by any other name would prickle as nasty

Sun Jul 10 19:35:14 CDT 2011

I am sorry... I think you must be mistaking me for someone who gives a
damn about one thousand boring species with green phyllodes and fluffy
yellow inflorescences...

It is just another plant genus (or several) that needs a name(s).

Which brings us to the process and the Code. Now that is something to
give a damn about and worthy of the T-shirt!

     " The Code: what part of "nomen" don't you understand?! "
