Digest Number 357

[Guest guest]

Karen,

 

I agree with you regarding the full Latin binomial. However, in my opinion,

that alone is insufficient to reliably insure proper material selection. An

example is the Mulberry tree (Mori alba/Sang Shu), where many parts are used

including the parasites. My proposal is plant part,

genus and species, pin yin and common American name for courses in North

America; for article publication combined pharmaceutical and binomial Latin with

Pin Yin are usually sufficient.

 

Respectfully, Will Morris

 

Karen: " I want botanical Latin to be used. Pharmaceutical Latin is an artifact

that only clouds the issue and is not the Latin used by the rest of the

world. Without the binomial, which is lacking in the pharmaceutical

Latin of our MMs, we don't know the species. And we don't know the

species with Pinyin either. "

Will, that is why Karen suggested saying " fruit of Morus alba " or " leaf of

" Morus alba " , or " mistletoe parasite that grows on Morus alba " -- which works

for me.
