RE: About the products - Koen G - 18-09-2016
JKP, lately I use the same names, and when I refer to both at ones I say 'botanical sections'.
Root-and-leaf is better than pharma, but still refers to a certain tradition. 'Small plants' is about as neutral as it gets.

Poll added (7 days)
RE: About the products - Anton - 25-10-2016
My objections would be to the wording, again.
First of all, prior to introducing any "section" references to the VMBOK, it would be a good thing to introduce section definitions into there, to begin with.
Is it a "botanical" section or a "herbal" one? Is it "pharmaceutical" or "roots'n'leaves"? And so forth.
So actually I would suggest to suspend the poll and initiate a statement about sections - what are they and how they are commonly called. After harmonizing that, we can return to this statement and re-open the poll.
Second, in paragraph 2 it is not logical to speak of an "exception", for the pharma section is a different section than the botanical section, and paragraph 1) deals with the botanical section exclusively.

Yes, I have mentioned before that there are some problems with section names. But that seems to be a discussion in its own right, and a difficult one. There is tradition on the one hand, but a false sense of consensus on the other.
Anyway when I say 'botanical' I mean all sections with plants. Small or big, plants are botanical...
RE: About the products - Koen G - 25-10-2016
Poll closed for now until we sort out the section naming thing... somehow...

I added the tag "Suspended" to the thread name.
