Talk:Eucalyptus leucophloia

Incorrect etymology
@Hughesdarren, please check your source again for following part: The species name leucophloia is taken from the Greek words, leukos meaning white and phloeos meaning bark, in reference to the light coloured bark. Bark is actually phloios (φλοιός) in ancient Greek. Interesting to note is that Euclid states: leucophloia: Greek leuco-, white and phloios, the bark., which correctly translitterates φλοιός as phloios, but errs by translitterating Greek kappa with c in leuco- (from λευκός).

 * But according to these entries of Euclid, bark is phloia (see here, here, here, here, here and here) in ancient Greek ... Wimpus (talk) 14:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have checked this myself, see here and it seems that this etymological mistake is in this book. Within the limited number of pages you can search in Google Books, you can find, that five times phloios is actually used. Wimpus (talk) 17:46, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
