R help - Feb 2011 - Mixed font type in plot title

Hello useRs,
I'm trying to put italics and regular font into a title and am having 
some trouble. The title I would like is " /Q. marilandica/ Volume ".

If I use
main=bquote(italic( "Q. marilandica ", " volume"))

I get just " Q. marilandica " in italics in the title.


If i use
main=bquote(italic( "Q. marilandica  ,) volume")

I get " Q.marilandica ,) volume " all in italics.


If i try
main=bquote(italic( "Q. Marilandica ", .( "volume")))

I get the same result as my first example.


I've tried other combinations with expression() also, but I'm getting 
nowhere.

Best,
john

Use

expression(paste(italic( "Q. marilandica "), " volume"))
