Talk:vernoniaceae

RFV discussion: May–June 2021
Adjective. Not in any OneLook reference, nor Century 1911, as either noun or adjective. Would seem more likely to be a noun, sometimes used attributively, if it can be found without initial capital. DCDuring (talk) 08:15, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have added two cites (all I could find without the initial capital) to the citations page. Both are nouns, referring to members of Veroniaceae, collectively. Kiwima (talk) 00:54, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Has anyone noticed, by the way, that the page is vernoniaceae but the quotes (I do not find so cannot check) are veroniaceae? There are bacteria and plants  and Veroniaceae is a misspelling of the latter. Fay Freak (talk) 13:47, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Currently accepted is a tribe Vernoniae, which in the 19th century was fairly widely accepted as a family Vernoniaceae. There is genus Vernonia. I can find reference in books to Veronia and Veroniaceae, but I cannot find either in the taxonomic databases, except Veronia as an obsolete synonym of Vernonia. Veronia also appears as a synonym of some species of Bacteroides. But my searches for the taxonomic names didn't turn up use of the English word under challenge, either in reference to plants or bacteria. DCDuring (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
