I do have a saved copy somewhere, but it's going to be a pain to copy and republish. Plus it's really alarming that the post disappeared in the first place. mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-4198011616782252732019-01-27T14:30:35.215-08:002019-01-27T14:30:35.215-08:00Dear Mr Subjunctive, I just noticed that the link ...Dear Mr Subjunctive, I just noticed that the link to Ficus maclellandii (formerly F. binnendijkii) goes nowhere..<br />Love your website!

Not to worry... It is very commonly misspelled, and cactus and succulent folk -- while they can be picky, they are also a generous and forgiving lot. They are always happy to hear people Sentient Meathttp://sentientmeat.netnoreply@blogger.com
