Talk:Eucalyptus loxophleba

Incorrect etymology
Currently, it is stated: "The specific epithet (loxophleba) is derived from the Latin words loxos meaning "cross-wise" and phlebs, phlebos meaning "a vein"." But these words are ancient Greek and not Latin. Or the source is mistaken or the editor has misread/misinterpreted the source. Wimpus (talk) 15:51, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , could you indicate whether you have misread Sharr and he is actually indicating that loxos and phlebs are Greek or that Sharr is actually mistaken.Wimpus (talk) 14:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)


 * My apologies - a typo and a blunder. I had Latin phlebs, phlebos when it should have been Greek phleps phlebos. Fixed now.
 * loxo/G loxos cross-wise, oblique
 * carpus: G -c. -fruited: Quoya.
 * phlebus: phleps phlebos a vein (refers to the leaves: Eucalyptus).
 * I have transcribed this here, precisely as it is printed in Sharr. Thanks for the advice. Gderrin (talk) 21:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
