I'm not fallin for that, miss genus buganosis... lol..most scientific names come easily to me, but that one seemed to draw a blank. <g> my brother came out hiking with me on the weekend and was asking me about fungi that were growing along the trail. i'm naming them as we stop to examine and photograph each one... hericium coralloides climacodon septentrionale geastrum fimbriatum lycoperdon pyriforme. . . he asks me how i do it. me: do what? him: the fungi names? me: dunno. can't remember people names at all. in fact, to an embarrassing degree (still haven't got all the names of a bunch of my relatives kids down yet!). but gimme a snake, frog, salamander or fungus and i'll know it by name. i think it's because the names are descriptive. now, if people had names that actually described their appearance, it might be a lot easier... like, some name that means "ears stick out and hair is the colour of a carrot"... well, then i think i might be able to remember a little better. <g> ~croc
