BannedMoron Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 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.

nzfreestyler Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BannedMoron Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 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....

Cali Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Botanist aren't the only ones that use nomenclature, all sciences use it, even the social science and business. Edited June 13, 2017 by Cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzfreestyler Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 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.

BannedMoron Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) 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 ................ ehhh what about the shoes??

nzfreestyler Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 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!
