[edit] Wild mock-orange
Wild mock-orange was removed from a common name of P. lewisii, because "wild" is meaningless. Common names are not required to be meaningful. "Wild mock-orange" really is a common name. Look at [1], or [2]. Lewis's mock-orange is just a translation of the binomial, it really isn't a commonly used common name. I assume that "wild mock-orange" is used for P. lewisii because it is the most common garden Philadelphus. I would like to put "wild mock-orange" back.Nereocystis 18:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
