Comment:
"The spelling of the epithet bocconi, often 'corrected' to bocconii, is debatable. It commemorates Paolo Boccone, suggesting a correction to bocconei, but he also used the Latinized form Bocconus, allowing bocconi. We have used bocconi, following the first usage by Scheele." (R. L. Hartman & R. K. Rabeler, in Flora of North America vol. 5, 2005)
