Wrong name

[edit]

Google ngram isn't much help but "Sakurajima radish" trounces "Sakurajima daikon"/"Sakurajima-Daikon"/"Sakurajima Daikon" at Scholar ([1] & [2]) and Books ([3] & [4]). Vanilla Google is wildly inaccurate for terms like this—sometimes the numbers at the top will seem to strongly favor "SD" but actually clicking over to the end of the results leaves them almost equal ([5] & [6]), with SD's edge entirely made up of Wiki-copying bot pages &c. "Sakurajima" (tout suite) & "giant white radish" probably outnumber either but can be avoided on the grounds of clarity and scope.

We're also using the wrong scientific name. This is now classed as a separate cultivar of radish from standard 'white-carrot' daikon. — LlywelynII 05:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
