| | What's in a (Botanical) Name? |
 | | In long botanical names, it is sometimes desirable to not only indicate the syllable that receives the primary stress but also a syllable which takes a secondary stress. |
 | | In some instances these Latinized place names are so remote from the present day form of the name, or the place is so relatively unknown, that a definition seems warranted: cf. |
 | | BECCARIOPHOENIX Latin form of Italian surname, Beccari (Odoardo), a palm expert in early 20th century + date palm (Gr.) [bek-kahr´-ee-o-FEE-nix] |
