Spelling of epithet

edit

As of March 2019, Plants of the World Online here has the spelling "cilinode", i.e. with one "i", whereas IPNI has corrected the spelling to "ciliinode", i.e. with two "i"s. As the epithet is apparently derived from cilium + nodis, Art. 60 of the ICNafp requires the formation cili + i + nodis, i.e. "ciliinodis" (m, f) / "ciliinode" (n). This has been accepted in the database underlying PoWO, I have been told by e-mail, and so will appear when the next update occurs. Accordingly, I've moved the article to the IPNI spelling.
