Hi all:
Not really CPish questions, but I bet someone can answer them...

I've been reading, and I have a question about plant naming. There
seems like a lot of CP that have been discovered by one person, but
named by another - sometimes years later! Why doesn't the discoverer
get to name the plant?

And finally, what are petals, sepals, and tepals -- and do they make a
difference to anybody except botanists?

Thanks!

-Brian
