Hi,
There seems to be a mistake on the opening paragraph of this topic. The article states "It is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the Northern Hemisphere. Its natural distribution spans New Britain, New Guinea, Ceram, Sulawesi and Mindanao." All these locations are in the Southern Hemisphere!!!
Also, "Ceram" (an island that is part of Indonesia) is currently spelled "Seram".
I have just modified one external link on
Eucalyptus deglupta. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The source writes (Brown, 1956, p. 716): "L. deglubo, -uptus, peel off, husk, shell". The second form is actually
a perfect participle, that can not be translated as an infinitive. It is merely a misinterpretation, to consider
that the translation refers to the second word (degluptus).

First off let me say thank you for addressing this here instead of reverting edits. Your point about the grammar here seems perfectly valid, though perhaps not terribly important in the context of an etymology. Does the change in case change the meaning or the reason for borrowing that Latin word in a way I don't understand?
Instead of deleting the content, as you did, I would encourage you to alter the content to reflect the appropriate Latin grammar. Generally, when you come across content in an article that shares accurate substance (ie. the Latin meaning) but has mistakes (ie the grammatical case of the Latin word) it's almost always more appropriate to clean up and correct the mistakes than to delete the content. --

I could have replaced it with a perfect participle (Brown mentions on p. 5: "The perfect participle, but not always the present participle of a Latin verb is given."), but I do stress that it is clearly the responsibility of the editor that adds the etymological information, to do this accurately.

If the information is useful and correct in its primary meaning (which is the case here as I understand it: the meaning is correct but there are grammatical errors) you should simply correct the grammar. --
