Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

_Poggeophyton_, on the other hand, for example, means the plant discovered by Dr. Pogge, a German botanical explorer. _Wormskioldia_, _Zahlbrucknera_, _Krascheninikowia_, _Acanthosicyos_, _Chickrassia_, _Orychophragmus_, _Warczewiczia_, _Lychnophoriopsis_, _Krombholtzia_, _Pseudorhachicallis_, _Sczegleewia_, _Zschokkia_, are all names that sound harsh and look odd to us. Yet most of them are just called after those who discovered them, or their friends. In many of the smaller microscopic plants the names are really much longer than the plants themselves. Thus _Pseudocerataulus Kinkeri_ is a diatom which cannot possibly be seen without the use of a microscope.
