Who is/what does "Skeels" mean in Taxonomy?
In taxonomy/biology:
when giving the latin name of a species it is common to state in parentheses the initial of the person who named/identified it. for example if it was found by Carl Linnaeus then the name is followed by: (L.) This is called the authority.
e.g: the English Oak tree is written: Quercus robur [in italics] (L.)
SO, my question is this:
What does it mean if the latin name for a species, which gives Linnaeus as the authority, is followed by the word "Skeels" ?
e.g: Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels
BTW - how do you write italics on the internet/yahoo answers?
