#880 They called me Ellipanthus tomentosus, also known as Ellipanthus curtisii, Ellipanthus vidalii, and Ellipanthus griffithii. I pay homage to the male botanists Gustave Prosper Vidal, William Griffith, and Charles Curtis, Carlton Clarence Curtis, Charles Henry Curtis, William Curtis, or Moses Ashley Curtis. They first catalogued me in 1872.
