Usage notes

• The i at the beginning of ianthinus (“violet”) is vocalic, so the spelling janthinus is incorrect. Nonetheless, it is encountered, especially in taxonomic epithets.
• Used almost exclusively as a taxonomic epithet and thus not normally in inflected forms other than the nominative singular.
