Note on some
Arabic
names
Some uncertain Arabic names
applied to some above species may not be correct or misplaced. For
example
عرف
الديك 'Urf ed dik is most often applied to species
of
Celosia.
For
some
reasons unknown to us it has been applied to
Amaranthus caudatus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus as well. Not knowing
the intricacies of the Arabic language we cannot judge if this is valid
or not. On the other hand the taxonomy having been so confused in the
last decades it could be that this is the cause of some miss-labelling.
Help is needed with the following names.

Note on some French
names
The gender of the name "Pariétaire" used on Reunion island is not
always respected. Consequently adjectives may vary (ie. noir vs noire,
piquant vs piquante etc.).
