Eriobotrya hookerana spelling

This name often appears as E. hookeriana, but article 60.11 of the code of nomenclature specifies that there should be no "i" before the "ana". Nadiatalent (talk) 12:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

if the species was named prior to the code being developed, then would the original spelling takes precedent? --Kev min § 15:37, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This gets discussed at length at each of the botanical congresses, but is slowly becoming standardized and clear. Nadiatalent (talk) 16:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! As User:Melburnian has pointed out at Talk:Grevillea hookeriana, the "i" is correct. The name is adjectival in form, not possessive. Nadiatalent (talk) 12:36, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
