OK - a rather simple question. Since I've started to allow myself to meander into the realm of the Utric, I've noticed that some reasonably credible sources spell the name of this plant differently.
Both Barry & Bob Z. use the U. reniformis spelling. However, Peter D'Amato (The Savage Garden pg 229) & this British website (among others) spell the name as U. reinformis. Misspellings are obviously not an uncommon occurrence anywhere scientific names are used - especially where these names intersect with novice users. However, the different spellings from credible sources is something I've not often seen and usually, if I do see 2 spellings, I'll typically find one reference that mentions both - sometimes with an explanation. Here, I have yet to come across a post or a website that offers the proverbial explanation for the alternate spellings.
Can someone help me out & shed some light on this simple little quandary?
