galacifolia[edit]

galacifolia would mean "milk-leaf". Any idea why this is apt?--Wetman (talk) 03:59, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, I haven't even seen that it means milk-leaf. HalfGig talk 12:04, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found this...page 47-48...it's because it has galax-like leaves. This is probably worth adding to the article. HalfGig talk 12:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
