Taxacom: Chromosera loreleiae!

[aceska at telus.net]

I feel that some rules in the ICN of algae, etc. limit the number of consecutive vowels in the names of taxa. Is the specific epithet “loreleiae” still within the limits?

Hey Gang,

New paper just out on the genus Chromosera, discussing its worldwide distribution. Fine collaborative job by many, including some of our top NA amateur mycologists.  

 

Here in CA, Instead of Chromosera "cyanophylla," we now have Chromosera loreleiae, named after the late Lorelei Norvell, a PNW mycologist, editor of Mycotaxon, Phaeocollybia expert and wonderful human being. She is missed. Think of her when next you find this gooey beauty!

My photo of C. loreleiae, found in the Sierra in 2009, back when we were calling it cyanophylla.
