Cool. If that is the ruling, it makes the thread massively easier as there are lots of plants.

I think the rules was (and is): No "proper nouns". A proper noun is a "name used for an individual person, place, or organization, spelled with an initial capital letter, e.g"
I don't think we are in the habit of spelling dandelions and pigs with an Initial Capital :)


My name is Henk. and I believe "It is all in the eye of the beholder....."

Rules for writing common names: modern English doesn’t capitalize common names of plants (or animals, tho bird specialists sometimes do capitalize bird common names). The plant common name has to conform to the rules of English, however, so if there’s a proper noun in the common name, it must be capitalized.

Thus, we have rigid goldenrod but Missouri goldenrod, azure penstemon but Torrey’s penstemon and California penstemon. Likewise, the rules for sentences apply: capitalize the common name at the beginning of a sentence or in a title.

I think the word Klein is always capitalised e.g, "A Klein bottle" - in which case it is invalis for this thread.
