Echium fatuosum
[edit]I see Echium fatuosum referred to in various places, and it's not at all clear to me if this is a synonym for Echium candicans or not. E.g. see [1]. Either way it would be good to clear this up in the article.
According to IPNI, four different authors described an Echium fastuosum, so which one are you referring to? MattBuys (talk) 13:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

No Context
[edit]Sorry about the no context tag. I totally spaced on that one. I was looking at this talk page when I thought I was looking at the article. Doh! Thanks for fixing it for me. Rklawton 07:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Rattlesnake soap from Mexico
[edit]Found a product made in Mexico, called Jabon de Aceite de vivora de cascabel, or rattlesnake soap. i believe it is a castile soap (or maybe a glycerin soap) made from a variety of Echium, possibly using oil from that plant, and the soda ash from this plant. the soap claims to be lye free, which may be disingenuous. "none alkaloide none acid" made out of minerals and herbs. if left on a wet surface it will go soft and melt away. If this is a traditional soap made in la Reyna de Monterrey, NL, it probably deserves a mention somewhare on english or spanich WP if we can find references.(mercurywoodrose)75.61.138.42 (talk) 23:19, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
