[Taxacom] Linnaeus' "Habitat in Indiis"

[Carlos Alberto Martínez Muñoz]

Dear Socorro,
Thank you for this example! There we have again "Habitat in Indiis" and
then "Habitat in India orientali inque Societatis insulis", which I would
translate as "East Indies and Society Islands". What I find interesting
from this example is the use of singular "India" in the expression "India
orientali". I wonder if that expression should be translated as Eastern
India instead of East Indies. I will take a closer look at the Species
Plantarum and search for similar usages.
Thank you again,
Carlos
