Spelling of "M'Mahon"

Bernard M'Mahon universally spelled his name "M'Mahon" not McMahon. It might be best to use the spelling he obviously preferred for this article, with "McMahon" as a modern equivalent?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.15.139.37 (talk) 00:02, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

nn Leighton notes the absence of Indian corn among the "Seeds of Esculent Vegetables" in 1806, though he lists old-fashioned favorites like coriander, corn-salad, orach, rampion, rocambole[disambiguation needed] and skirret.[5...... this wrong...check page 581...for corn, Indian...!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.61.71.30 (talk) 17:53, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear enough?[edit]

Current text: "McMahon, growing the seedlings that were protected from commerce as Federal property, had the mortification to see published in British journals, and to see Mahonia nervosa itself introduced by Prince Nurseries, Flushing, Long Island, at twenty dollars a plant." What was the mortification? At what date did these things happen? The genus Mahonia was first named in 1818, two years after M'Mahon's death, so if the nursery was selling the plants under the name Mahonia nervosa, he had already been dead for at least two years. I think the facts need to be stated more clearly. Andrew Dalby 10:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
