Talk:Erythrina caffra

Name Change
"Caffra" has been deemed to be an offensive term. It supposedly is an Arabic word meaning, "infidel." Members of the International Botanical Congress recently have voted to replace the word, "caffra" with "affra," which is supposed to suggest an organism's African origin, in the names all plants, fungi, and algae in which it occurs.
