lilaceus

According to Lewis & Short the word is liliaceus.SemperBlotto 18:50, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't know Latin to appropriately cite it, but there's at least a half-dozen hits in running Latin botanical descriptions in Google Books: e.g. "Calodon Ridleyi, Massee. Pileus suberosus, campanulatus, obtusus, e velutino glabrescens, in prima evolutione coelestinus, dein coeruleo-nigrescens, margine lilaceus, laciniatus, 3 cm. latus."[1]--Prosfilaes 23:20, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Does look attestable. But why? Is it originally a typo, an error, or was the i deliberately removed for some reason or another? Mglovesfun (talk) 23:35, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
