Hebejeebie

[Dipteryx]

A dubious site. From what they say on the penguin it appears they are not
using good sense.

There do not appear to be many plant names here (and of those that are
presented the derivation of Phoenix is counter to tradition). Either
botanists are more sensible than zoologists or their sense of humor is more
subtle?
