    That's one that has been in the database since the very beginning. I did find a Canadian site that lists it as coelelestinum with a synonym of colelestinum and a lot of sites available to me that list it the way our database has it. :confused:
    I can't get into the deep, dark, inner workings of the forum software so Frank will sort it out soon.

    Wow, Gardenstew must really be accurate. I see bigger issues than that with government websites. It's especially common for them to not update botanical names.

    I just changed the name of Caesalpinnea ferrea, leopard tree, to Libidibia ferrea on Wikipedia on Sunday though the new name had been published for several years.

    We really try to keep our plant database as accurate as possible. Almost nothing less confidence inspiring than finding a lot of wrong names, misspelled names. And it really helps that our members are actively involved in helping keep the information correct too.
