Why, if the species is named for the Altamaha River, is it Franklinia alAtamaha? Anyone? Thehappysmith 16:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alatamaha was a variant spelling of the river's name. You find it on old maps. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 23:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fungal disease?

Can someone source the statement about a cotton-related fungal disease leading to the extinction in the wild of Franklinia altamaha? -- Rob C. alias Alarob 23:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
