Why was the name changed from Cactus?[edit]
Since the first species was described as Cactus mammillaris already by Carl Linnaeus, shouldn't that name have preference? ◅ Sebastian 18:15, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- See Cactus#Taxonomy and classification; in summary, the name "cactus" had become so confused that the 1905 Vienna botanical congress rejected Cactus as genus name, and conserved Mammillaria. This should be mentioned in this article, I think. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've now added a bit to the Taxonomy section. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:41, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Peter, for your explanation, the link, and your addition. Those are two interesting sections. At first I suspected that there'd be much of an overlap, but I couldn't find any. My only gripe is your use of “tangible” in the context of a cactus. Ouch! ;-) ◅ Sebastian 21:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
