Comparative Taxonomies
As often mistaken with Ipomoea tricolor, one must compare the taxonomy of the two plants. The subgenus being different, Ipomoea violacea should not be used as a synonym of Ipomoea tricolor. However if Ipomoea violacea has to be used as a synonym of Ipomoea tricolor, one must specify the incorrect usage by using the abbreviation 'Auct.' Auctorum.

Famous quotes containing the word comparative:
“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
