I don't understand what "The standard author abbreviation Gleason is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name." means to this article. Thanks. Ward20 (talk) 01:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

There are standardized forms of botanist's names that are cited (in some circumstances) along with the name of plants described by that person. "Miconia brevitheca Gleason" indicates that Gleason described that species. In Gleason's case, the "abbreviation" is his full last name, but in many cases, the name truly is abbreviated: L., Sm., R.Br., etc. Plantdrew (talk) 21:48, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
