The fact that the vulgar name is wrong in the latter elset is typical. I
long ago gave up hope that the vulgar name would be reliable. That is why
I call it the "vulgar name" instead of "common name"; to express a warning
that newbies should be very wary of them. They seem nice, but they seem
nicer than they really are. Try not to pay much attention to them; you'll
have to pay your cardiologist later, or not at all.
Cheers.
