vulpinoideus -a -um from the English vulpine, of or like a fox, relating to a fox, from Latin vulpinus, of or
pertaining to a fox, from vulpes, earlier volpes (genitive vulpis, volpis) fox, probably cognate with the Greek
alopex, and Lithuanian vilpisys. The quick brown fox sedge jumped over the lazy taxonimist. The descriptive
‘fox’ may be a reference to an inferior fruit, similar to the Native American use of the descriptive ‘coyote’, or
in the sense of -astrum, of an inferior sort, wild, etc. An alternative translation is Vulpia-like, (fescue-like).
