janthinus
Latin
Adjective
janthinus (feminine janthina, neuter janthinum); first/second-declension adjective
- (proscribed) alternative form of ianthinus
Usage notes
- The i at the beginning of ianthinus (“violet”) is vocalic, so the spelling janthinus is incorrect. Nonetheless, it is encountered, especially in taxonomic epithets.
- Used almost exclusively as a taxonomic epithet and thus not normally in inflected forms other than the nominative singular.
