True or false, common names are confusing. Huckleberries are called huckleberries, regardless of family or genus. I wasn’t confused, I was naive. Just didn’t know that other plants were called huckleberries. Binomial nomenclature rocks.
Oh crap. This is Wordle, but for me! Thank you!
Totally. Once you see the flowers, you can’t unsee it. Families are based on flower structures. Once you see and begin to know the flower structures, you’ll know a sage is a mint, a hibiscus is a mallow, a manzanita is a blueberry, on and on. Fun free puzzles if nothing else.
Ericaceae is the family name. There is no alternative spelling, it was a typo on my part. (The comment above yours is edited to be clearer) Thank you for catching that. Plant family names end in ‘eae’.
Thank you for the description of Vaccinium and Gaylussacia. That is super interesting, I’ve never heard them referred to as “true huckleberries”.
Your comment points to the larger issue with common names. And I apologize if you know this, but hopefully it is helpful to folks who come across this post. Common names can be applied to two or more plants that aren’t related. They are colloquial and can apply to edible plants and poisonous plants at once. Some plants have multiple common names. Some plants have no common names at all because they have no existing functional relationship with humanity. Many common names are simply adopted from the species’ genera (I like this!). Common names cause confusion and muck up the clarity of botanical conversation of people across places/upbringings.
Cheers.
Huckleberries and blueberries are not related closely at all. Huckleberries are in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Blueberries are in the blueberry family, Ericaceae. Their morphologies, or growth forms, are very very different.
Eggplants, potatoes, ground cherries, tomatillos, huckleberries are all edible too. That said you are right, if it is growing in the wild assume it will kill you. Don’t eat it.
Yeah, water hemlock, cowbane, fool’s parsley, wild parsnip, etc, etc.
Apiaceae, the carrot family, is full of wild species that are incredibly poisonous. Basically if it looks like a carrot in the wild dont eat it or you might die.
Yeah I saw that you can block those in settings. I pointed out how that just presents a whack-a-mole scenario where the user has to keep at it instead of striking at the TLD.
If it works well for you, don’t worry about it. The matrix will show what kind of support improvements you might expect over the standard kernel.
You might want to look at Surface Kernel for Linux. The link below shows their matrix of features on various Surface products and support within the Surface for Linux kernel. You would install Ubuntu and then install these updates to make Surface hardware function better. They have a lot of bespoke hardware in their laptops and tablets that aren’t supported by the Ubuntu Linux Kernel out of the gate. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix
That’s snake oil peddler Gwyneth Paltrow if I recall
Hard to tell, but an ISA certified arborist will tell you straight. If in the states, you can look that up or contact your local state or university extension office for reputable certified arborists.
I have a coworker who took this approach and hasn’t lived in their house for over a year now waiting for the roof and structural aspects to be repaired.
No thank you, unless I’m instructing or teaching people what botanical terms mean.
I’ve had to give these answers more than a few times:
I don’t know it. It does not have one. The genus is the common name.
Not just the free services, they’re all doing it.
Nope.
