Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis | ||
Correspondence 1 | 13 Jan 2004 e-mail from Jeff Greenhouse see Comment 1 | |
Editorial Comments 1 | Correspondence 1 indicates that the correct spelling of this epithet is "morehus", and not "moreha", "morehii", or "morehiana". This name was published (as Quercus Morehus) by Kellogg in Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. 2:36 (1863), wherein he also called it Abram's Oak. Since Abraham (Abram), in various Old Testament interpretations, visited the "Oak of Moreh" or "Plain of Moreh", it is likely that Kellogg was naming the plant after this oak or place, or after the person for whom this oak or place was named. The idea that Kellogg intended the latter, that is, that he intended to name the plant for the Biblical person, Moreh, is untenable because Kellogg would have spelled the epithet "morehii" or "morehiana", consistent with his naming of other plants in honor of persons, and he would have called it Moreh's Oak. Since the termination "us" is consistent with some Latin geographical names listed by Stearn in Botanical Latin, ed. 4:210--227 (1992), it is likely that Kellogg used the Latinized name as a noun in apposition, and so it is to be preserved as required by Art. 60.7 in ICBN 2000 (St. Louis Code). Thus, "morehus" is the correct spelling of this epithet. The spelling "moreha", as used elsewhere, would suggest that Kellogg instead intended an adjectival epithet, with a termination in agreement with the classical Latin feminine gender of the genus Quercus.
