PS tabs dedicated to Michelia is written the name of this tree comes from the Italian botanist Pietro Mechel (1670 - 1737) while we know (since it is one of our favorite botanical) that the correct name is Pier Antonio Micheli and his birth year is 1679 . If anyone can point out the typo, the authors (perhaps with a mail) may be happy to make this correction, to the benefit of Italy, the Italian botanists and culture of trees.
