Dear Betty and Conchlers,

ANGELICA = of ANGELOS = messenger, angel
ANGLICA = ENGLISH(fem.)

There is this great book for those of us who like to
know the origins of names:

Brown, R. W. 1956. Composition of Scientific Words.
Smithsonian Instituiton Press.

I bought mine at the NMNH gift shop for $40, in '98.

Cheers,

Paulino
