NOTE

As it is often the case with commonly cultivated crops, common names are "all over the place". It is partly explained by the fact that practically all catalogues and gardening magazines never mention the complicated botanical names that taxonomists use but simply confine themselves to the basic binomial Foeniculum vulgare which is only the basic specific name. Occasionnally the word "dulce" is mentioned. This does not help much however considering that taxonomists of the past did not agree on that name. For example Foeniculum dulce DC. is considered as a synonym of  var. azoricum (Mill.) Thell.  whilst Foeniculum dulce Mill. is considered as var. dulce (Mill.) Batt.  Feedback on these problems is much welcome (m.porcher@unimelb.edu.au)..
