Homonymy

In 1844, Lindley published a description of a very different orchid, Encyclia adenocaula (Lex.) Schltr. (1918), under the name Epidendrum verrucosum,[2] making Epidendrum verrucosum Lindl. (1844) an illegitimate name, and a synonym for Encyclia adenocaula.

gollark: ... in what way, exactly? What's that meant to do?
gollark: I mean, the george floyd thing. You referenced that. How are you going to change the law to fix that sort of issue?
gollark: The police do not actually, you realise, set law.
gollark: If part of your concern is institutional racism or whatever, how are law changes going to fix it?
gollark: No, that is *a thing they do*, but the general point of them is to enforce laws, which happens most of the time.
