From Henk Beentje,
So “botanists are rarely as idiosyncratic” as Godfrey Sykes, who in 1922 named a Mexican succulent after Lewis Carrol’s Boojum (20/27 December 2008, p 63). I offer you: Hebejeebie, a genus close to Hebe in the family Plantaginaceae, described by Michael Heads in 2003; Aquilegia flabellata nana pumila alba “Rama Lama Ding Dong“, a cultivar of dwarf white columbine in the family Ranunculaceae; and Eriogonum inflatum var. deflatum of the Polygonaceae.
