The funny thing is that both “July twenty-third” and “the twenty-third of July” are common in the US.

A local park ranger I know likes to remark that our state tree is a grass. (I’m in Florida.)
But I’d say that’s also inaccurate. IMO, grasses are in the family Poaceae, and palms are in the family Arecaceae. I guess one could remark that our state tree is a commelinid…but I don’t think tourists would get as much of a kick out of that.

Isn’t that just “hosed”?
Maybe this is why they named a Super Mario RPG boss after this genus
