[Taxacom] plant genus question

[Dennis During]

I see many erroneous spellings of taxonomic names in Wiktionary entries for
Chinese and other, mostly Asian, words.  Many of the errors seem to result
from working from sources that have copied the erroneous name from other
sources. The original errors seem to be due to misreading Latin characters
not familiar to the compiler of the dictionary. The entries also include
many superseded names of all kinds, but they are straightforward to update
to current or at least recent names.
