Nomenclatural Puzzles
I list here names that I have been unable to find any derivation or satisfactory meaning for. If anyone can shed any light on one or more of them, I would be happy to add that information to my website.  You may contact me at the following address: mmlcharters[at]calflora.net.

core-core (Geranium)
coronensis (Astrgalus pulsiferae var.) (a geographic reference?)
Iliamna (after a geographical feature in Alaska?)
Ismelia
lipocarpa (Carex lenticularis var.)
malior (Gilia) (worse, uglier?)
notitius (Lotus argyraeus var.) (variant of notatus?)
proposita (Carex)
Ratibida
retinodes (Acacia)
specifica (Carex)
Tonella


I also list here when necessary the names of people for whom plants have been named and about whom I am seeking more biographical information.
