Help needed to know the meaning" I am not certain but perhaps : osyr from Greek osyris Osyris is a genus of plants in the Family Santalacea - many known as Sandalwoods. Perhaps some relation to Sandalwoods in some way...(?) Oh! ... the suffix '-ensis' normally suggests 'of belonging to some place'. I had not thought of Osyris genus; again in which case, it would have been osyrioides .... but these are just my thoughts, not certain about it. Hoping some friend would give us clear idea. You mentioned : " Oh! ... the suffix '-ensis' normally suggests 'of belonging to some place'. I had not thought of Osyris genus; again in which case, it would have been osyrioides ." Yes, I am aware of the suffix denotations , but 'taxonomists' don't always name correctly and often connotational meanings may apply...e.g., where the Sandalwoods grow in the taxonomists view... I was thinking outside the 'box' for answers... I hope someone can provide an answer which is clearer to your working perspective..
