Talk:Cyclamen cilicium

cilicicum?

Hi, can anybody point to a source for the alternative spelling cilicicum? I’ve tried all the usual refs. I’m not even sure that the Linnaean system supports alternative spellings of species names. If no joy, I will delete it. Thanks. Darorcilmir (talk) 15:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it's just a mis-spelling. Here's an example; notice how the next person spells it correctly as "cilicium". No such variant appears in any reliable source I can find, including Chris Grey-Wilson's The Genus Cyclamen or the Cyclamen Society website. So I've deleted it – leaving it there just propagates the error. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
