Q & A

hortibloke’s names not found online.

A. Yes you are correct. There are explanations of course.

1. I am aware that even AI cannot find those names. This is because Google has the habit of not indexing “ minor blogs “ such as this one, and therefore Google AI cannot find them. This makes a mockery of the reliability of Google. It will index and find any word in the old outdated MMPND because it comes from an “institution” , but it will ignore the updates on our blog which are 10 times richer in data (almost exclusively botanical and vernacular vocabulary.
2. As to the absence of those names in commercial or official sites, it is also correct, because either they have not yet been approved by authorities, or have not had the need to be translated by commercial outfits. So we have done the work for them. Simple. It is purely based on intelligence (information) and logic. As a matter of fact on a few occasions I discovered that a name (or names) that I had suggested last century was / were discovered years later on some database.
3. In recent years, in the absence of any name for a given species, in a given language, It has become common practice to transcribe the botanical name (in relevant script). Transcribing into a scripted language a common name borrowed from another language is an other way of identifying taxa in new parts of the world. This was started decades ago on the Biotik site and has become accepted practice, “tolerated practice” some would say.
