Hilary, I've fixed the italics - in the original version of your message you'd sort of doubled them, so that they both opened and closed before the plant name, then opened and closed again after it. When you're writing a message, the italic commands show with square brackets around them. To show how the doubling up looked when you were writing it, I've used ordinary round brackets instead - so that the website machinery doesn't automatically translate them as commands. Your original version looked like this (with square not round brackets of course) (i)(/i)Salvia verbenaca(i)(/i) but should have looked like this (i)Salvia verbenaca(/i).
