Talk:jinianum

From Chinese placename ?

I am not sure, but this seems to be derived from a transliteration of a Chinese place name. DCDuring TALK 02:27, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't think anyone would be able to tell you that. Where did you hear about this? Jamesjiao → ^{T ◊ C} 21:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

In the internet one can find "皖景天（Ｓｅｄｕｍ ｊｉｎｉａｎｕｍ）" and "该属植物东南景天(S.alfredii)和皖景天(S.jinianum) [...]" in Chinese texts. 和 should mean "and" (or "with"). 景 is transcribed as "jǐng" in Pinyin and 天 as tiān (in Wiktionary as tiān and xiān). Wiktionary also has 皖景天. 景天 could mean Sedum, and 皖 could be Anhui, a region in east China. So maybe jinianum comes from 景天 (jǐng-tiān) meaning Sedum. -84.161.10.140 17:05, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
