How many times havent I seen a celeb wearing oh such lovely shoes, and wondered who made these heels? Hoping this might be of interest to others,

I am attaching two cases to be analyzed.

The marvellous lady in red, Molly Bernard and my all time favourite, Jessica:

Hi

Sorry but I don't know the origins/ source of these sandals!

I must say "nomenclature" - now there's a word you don't often nowadays! Its nice to see good use of language here !

bye

As an old and retired botanist I use nomenclature daily :-)

Eg: Whats the nomenclature of beech tre mate??

As a Norwegian, I wouldnt have a clue what Beech tree is in the first place - some kind of spruce?

Then you say Nothofagus fusca --- ahhh a Fuscospora fusca oh yes that one a tawhai raunui  a red beech!

If you still dont follow, take a hike in a nearby forest, most of it is indeed that one....

Botanist aren't the only ones that use nomenclature, all sciences use it, even the social science and business.

Oh yeh, brings back memories from varsity...

Now if I'm approximately correct (although no such thing as approximately correct - its right or wrong)

Silver beech =  Nothofagus solandri var cliffortoidies  (excuse my spelling)

Black Beech = Nothofagus solandri solandri  

 

We have lots of beech forest here, much of it still so remote they are deemed 'wilderness areas' with no tracks/huts etc. I love the open sub stories within beech forests, much [refer this to podocarp forests which we also have a few of.

Ahem.

Nomenclature is always binomial!

Such as

Genus-- Fuscospora

Species - fusca

The name of that beech is the Fuscospora fusca (Hook.f.) Heenan & Smissen

--- written in alll glory with the guys who named it :-)

As the photo shows, its a beech with birch sized leaves, and it only grows wild in New Zealand

Silly me.

I think I'm remembering now - so Nothofagus is the family for the Beech.

Solandri is the black mountan beech species

I forgot/mixed up the genus part!

As I learnt with all sciences - you never claim to be an expert or offer a firm opinion unless you know what you're on about !

And I still don't know about those shoes - Sorry!
