Publication
the spelling Forskål (in Latin) was used in the publication, however the author used normally Forsskål. Both version are correct, but Forsskål is more commonly used. See Fricke (2008), Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 1: 1–76 and also Friis, I. & Thulin, M. (1984): The spelling of Pehr Forsskål’s family name. – Taxon 33 (4): 668–672.
