Good morning Ritesh Ji, Thank you very much for elaborating on 'A' and 'UM'. Please tell me -
1. how the names "Abroma" or "Ambroma" and "augusta" or "augustum" were selected? There is a 'botanary' available in Dave's Garden and it has " Abroma <http://davesgarden.com/guides/botanary/go/8271/#b>" but no " Ambroma <http://davesgarden.com/guides/botanary/vbl/a/1040>". 2. what is the deadline for the use of "Sterculiaceae" for *Abroma augusta*, or any other member of the same family (sterculiaceae)?
