Dear friends, ... for sake of convenience, have split the thread per query,
as follows:


1) what could be the reason for mistaking identities of moong and urid ?
...
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/920d5a83115574cd?hl=en#

2) on what basis are the facts ascertained (that V. mungo is urd and V.
radiata is moong ) ?
...
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/19b5940ea41b6bf3?hl=en#

3) why the reverse naming (i.e. why was mung not named Vigna mungo) ?
...
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/4405ff6402e20ebc?hl=en#

4) is the epithet mungo commemorative for the Scottish explorer of the
African continent, Mungo Park (1771 – 1806) ?
... if so, what were the regional (native) names of mung called earlier to
coining the epithet.
...
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/8088575e1a13f9ab?hl=en#

5) how many other species share this epithet ? ... could not get any search
results for floral species ... fauna, some species of mongoose.
...
http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/5e21ce9e0946fda1?hl=en#


Will appreciate responses in those threads ... assuming it will easy for all
of us.


Regards.
