Sorry if I was unclear. The normal form of the word is 'osmeterium' (sing),
'osmeteria' (plural). Some authors have used 'osmaterium' and 'osmateria'.
In Vane-Wright & Ackery, the index entry is 'osmeteria', but the text has
'osmaterium/osmateria' for two authors (including Ackery), and 'osmeterium/
osmeteria' for one author. Some copy editor fell down on the job?
