Changing names...

From: Albert Huntington <amasakih at gmail.com> on 2016.10.24 at 16:04:02(23696) Folks - I posted this on facebook last week, but I figure it may be of interest to those on Aroid-L as well: In the wake of some recent discussion about the state of a few names - Arum pictum vs Gymnomesium pictum and Xanthosoma/Caladium lindenii vs Phyllotaenium lindenii, for instance, I've made a page which lays out the current state of affairs regarding name changes of at least some of our beloved plants and provides links to some papers. Please refer to http://www.aroid.org/genera/changes/ for all your naming needs. You might never be actually *right*, but it will be more difficult for people to prove you *wrong*. --Albert HTML +More --94eb2c0570fe636ff5053f9e8a8f-- --==============016509895336590662==

I have Carla now trying to affect the changes necessary in Tropicos to correct our records.
