Flora of Panipat- Gomphrena haageana from a nursery in Panipat: Gomphrena haageana A Garden Annual Herb shot from a nursery in Panipat pls validate That is very peculiar species name and so I just tried to look for information why the plant has been named this way. Actually the species name is to commemorate J.N. Haage (1926-78), a German plant collector and seedsman. Since the name ends in a vowel, -an is added after the person name instead of ian (for names ending in consonant), and then the usual gender ending -a, -um or -us as the case may be. According to me the issue is different sir. Haagei could be one option when the word ends in a vowel. Orther such examples are 'hegdei', 'maderoi' and 'rosei' When Haagei is there it means Haage's Gomphrena, which in turn can be ideally or wrongly perceived as the plant was originally collected by Haage but described by someone else. Here 'Haage' is used as a 'Noun'. Haageana means Haagean Gomphrena, which could mean, as beautiful as Haage. Here 'Haage' is used as an 'Adjective'. Some other examples are, 'weddelliana', 'congniauxiana' and 'wallichiana'. It is then followed by 'a' or 'us' or 'um', to denote the gender. In first case, the importance to the person is lessened but in second case you are kind of admiring the person by giving a name after him. Thanks ... I never thought use of -ii or -i does lower the importance of a person. I thought it is personal choice of author to use the name as genitive (possessive) form (-hookeri) or adjective (-hookeriana). I can't imagine Iris of Hooker (Iris hookeri) is less decorative than Hooker Iris (Iris hookeriana). I will give you another example. Lets say Amit is Sumit's father. So if I say, Amit's Sumit or Sumit is as intelligent as Amit. then it does make a difference as first sentence is very casual but second sentence is a praise. Similarly if you say "Hooker's Iris" and then "Iris as handsome as Hooker", then there is a praise in second. Botanically it doesnt change anything, but in grammar they are different. :)) Gomphrena globosa as per another thread (with heading Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: BS12: Gomphrena globosa from Arya PG College Campus Panipat) from ...
