Talk:Crassula

The length of some of the species and common names listed in the taxobox makes it very wide... is there some way to slim this down? Gwimpey 22:27, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

• Good question. I'm not too experienced in wiki formatting or HTML tables. I tried the html tagging it to small font, but that's just too small. Does anybody know if there is some sort of formatting that allows for 'hanging indents' (where a line can be broken like so:

Crassula spatula
   synonym of Ongo bongo  

and a way to force the table narrower to make it happen? Gzuckier 16:06, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Species names vs. common names?

I am looking at a gardening book which refers to Crassula lycopodiodes as the "zipper cactus or rat tail cactus" but this page gives the epithet "rattail crassula" to another genus and species, Crassula muscosa. Does anyone know if the difference is because the binomial name has changed or simply because common names tend to vary? And is it really "muscosa" or should it be "mucosa"?

The book is "Beautiful Tabletop Gardens" by Janice Eaton Kilby, ISBN 1-57009-369-X, page 123.

C. lycopodiodes is a taxonomic synonym of C. muscosa (and it is muscosa). Plantdrew (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
