"plum-yews"
[edit]Is "plum-yew" a recognizable pseudo-"common" name for Cephalotaxaceae? Does it actually help anyone? --Wetman (talk) 12:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Last that I was aware, the family Cephalotaxaceae was generally accepted as monophyletic, phylogenetic studies having moved the other genera to Taxaceae. As members of Cephalotaxus are termed plum-yews, the family is indeed the plum-yew family. I would have gone with taxonomic names only but I have been repeatedly told that they should be avoided as not inherently recognizable to the general reader, and to use vernacular names when possible.--Kevmin § 21:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
