Re:Save American Chestnut : Our National Extinct T (Score 1)

not like you care, but to correct a couple of things I said...

* The guy who poo-pooed on Sida inflexa is from UT, not A&M

* S. inflexa wasn't presumed to be extinct per se, but rather was declared "Globally Historic," which basically means that nobody's seen it for a long time but no one's looked too terribly hard for it either. Of course, to say you found a species that was "presumed extinct" sounds a lot cooler than to say you found one which was "globally historic".

pedantically yours,
