 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.
The abbreviations "(Gr.)" and "(L.)" indicate "Greek" and "Latin" respectively; and if a name partakes of both languages, the root word sequence is indicated by the order in which they occur.
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.
