A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

Sepicola,-ae (s.f.I), also sep-incola,-ae (s.f.I), also saepincola (s.f.I): a noun, ‘hedge-dweller,’ ‘thicket-dweller;' “an inhabitant of hedges” (Jackson) [> L. sepes, hedge, + incola,-ae (s.f.I), dweller, inhabitant of] used as an epithet in several lichen names variously spelled sepincola or saepincola: e.g. Tuckermannopsis sepincola (basionym: Lichen sepincola). Cetraria sepincola a mostly arctic species; densley clustered on small twigs, perhaps of shrubs in northern thickets; Acarospora saepincola, the Cracked Lichen. As both sepes and saepes are equivalent, perhaps the author of the basionym determines the orthography.

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
