I'm a gardener with an occasional weakness for knowing the Latin names of plants. Why did you pick the name? (I'm now channelling Gilbert and Sullivan "They call me Buttercup, dear little Buttercup")

Have you considered radiotherapy for Dupuytren's? It has a good chance of preventing any further deterioration.

(I don't think Dupuytren's is an auto-immune problem -though I could be wrong. The problem isn't inflammation.)
