Taxacom: Subject: Re: demystifying gender agreement, was Re: Removals, of offending scientific names

[Paul van Rijckevorsel]

Well, to point out the obvious, 'botanical' nomenclature
short-circuited the  "-/cola/", "-/colus/", and "-/colum/" matter
by ruling that it is always a noun, spelled -/cola/ (see
Art. 23.5 and its supporting Ex. 11). This has the great
virtue of being simple.
