Talk:Eremophila delisseri

Common name
This article originally included the common name "frontage poverty bush". None of the references listed appear to include this name. Eremophila malacoides is more usually called frontage poverty bush. I am unable to find the origin of "frontage". Strange that a species named in 1866 apparently has no common name whereas one described in 2007 does. There is a listing in FloraBase giving "frontage poverty bush" as a common name for E. delisseri but the listing is not current. Gderrin (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree.The common name was obtained from a FloraBase reference in 2007, before they listed it as an excluded (misapplied) name based on Chinnock's 2007 work .--Melburnian (talk) 00:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)


 * regardless of chinnocks work and what that may or not solve, there are too many eremophilas with poverty bush as part of an ascribed or mis-applied name, there is a good argument to have a separate page that lists emu and poverty bush separate from the list of eremohpilas (if it was a sortable table, that would be different). I also realise that Melburnian created the appropriate Emu and Poverty disambig articles in 2008 (a few weeks ago...) which were prescient and well placed items JarrahTree 00:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Possibly - but maybe we shouldn't worry too much about common names. The problem also exists with other genera/species (eg. mountain ash, swamp gum, stringy gum, Tasmanian oak for Eucalyptus regnans). It would be good to have each eremophila with a different common name (or names) tho'. So far, so good (I think?). Gderrin (talk) 01:00, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
