Colleagues, Much of my research is based on Amur honeysuckle, Lonicera maackii. Recently, I've been questioned regarding the correct authority for this species. I've seen both (Rupr.) Maxim and (Rupr.) Herder. US government sites seem to all use (Rupr.) Herder (you'll have to take my word for this, because they are currently shut down!), as does the International Plant Names Index. Wikipedia actually has a discussion on this topic and comes down for (Rupr.) Maxim. It would be great if we could cite Flora of North America, but they haven't gotten to Caprifoliaceace yet.
Can any of you taxonomically-inclined plant ecologists straighten me out on this? Thanks, Rick ================================ Richard L.
