Talk:Camarophyllus

Added nomenclature section

Usually I don't add a detailed section on nomenclature to an article that's only a stub, however, there was some controversy about this group, so it needed to be covered. A note on Camarophyllus vs Cuphophyllus – the rules of botanical nomenclature clearly give priority clearly give priority to the older name in cases where there is more than one competing name for the same taxon, except in cases of conserved names, where there has been a formal decision by the International Botanical Congress to conserve a more recent name against an older one. Camarophyllus is the older of the two names and clearly takes priority; to the best of my knowledge, the IBC has never chosen to conserve Cuphophyllus against Camarophyllus.

Cas - you may want to add to the nomenclature section, particularly Young's views on the subject. Peter G Werner 21:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
