N with malus towards none - Genesis Nursery

pensylvanicus -a -um occasionally spelled pennsylvanicus pensylvan'icus (pen-sil-VANE-i-kus) of or from
Pennsylvania, USA. Pensylvania was an accepted alternative spelling throughout the 1700's to as late as the
1870’s. Plants named at that time may have a specific epithet without the double “n”. Some botanical authors of
the mid-20 th century consistently use the double n where a single n is used now. One source claims that if the
author describing the plant was French, he spelled the epithet the French way, pensylvanica. It is an alternative
spelling now totally illegitimatized by Internet sites.
