And there was I, an old fruit, thinking that Rowan had nothing to do with Fabaceae or any of the other legumes. I just about split my sides.

You might be able to correct me Steve (and I'm not nailing any colours to any mast, here and it's not important enough for me to go Googling) but, from the dimness of my memory, it was just such an 'absurd' leap (as from Cucurbitaceae to Solanaceae) that Barbara McClintock had observed, hypothesised about, tested and confirmed some decades before the blokes did it all again and that got her the Nobel.

Cheers, Rowan
