I ran across four cases: Carlina corymbosa, Eriogonum corymbosum, and Pterostyrax corymbosus were given in a word list as examples of the use in all three genders, but I have no idea what they are; Cassia corymbosa is a senna but not one used in either medicine or cookery, so far as I can tell (it turned up in a look at siliqua, which with what I take to be a diminutive, silicula, is also an arrangement of fruit and so turns up all over the place -- though I don't quite see how it got to clams, unless they are razor clams that look like carob pods). |
