I have added a note to make clearer the reason why this plant is named as C. harringtonii, and not as it is normally listed, C. harringtonia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.205.18.132 (talk) 13:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a qualifier stating that C. harringtinia is still acceptable. Andyboorman (talk) 21:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Except that it isn't! All authorities, from the Plant List and World Flora Online, to the American Conifer Society ALL agree that 'harringtonia' is not the correct name. The nursery industry needs to get it head around correct nomeclature, not continue to use lousy names, and pretend they are 'acceptable'. Even on simple Latin grammar, Cephalotaxus is clearly masculine, and since this isn't one of the Classic tree names ending in 's' which are female, and take female endings on the specific epithet, it clearly has to be harringtonii. Wikipedia should not be continuing to use obviously wrong naming.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:cb1d:2e:3500:a1c2:4a36:f069:2831 (talk) 14:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
