Talk:Tibetan Goji berry

This is the same plant as the Wolfberry (though perhaps a different variety). Badagnani 05:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Support Latin name is identical. As long as material of this variety keeps is identity within the new article and redirects are put in place. Lumos3 09:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Oppose To my knowledge, the main difference between the two is that the Goji is wild and Wolfberry is domesticated and is thus hybridized, etc. THX-1138 00:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Support The incorrect claim that the "Tibetan goji" is a different plant than the Chinese wolfberry is one propagated primarily by the companies selling the "Tibetan goji" (such as this one, full of misspellings: http://www.gojiberry.com/ ). "Goji," in fact, appears to be the Tibetan or Mongolian word for "gouqi," the Chinese name for wolfberry. I do not believe I have seen any evidence that the "Tibetan goji" is a separate species or even subspecies than wolfberry. Further, Chinese wolfberry certainly does grow wild as well as being cultivated, as I believe the Tibetan and Mongolian varieties do. All of this can be discussed in a single article covering this single species of plant. Badagnani 05:20, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Support, for the reasons given above; they are the same species - MPF 10:19, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
