Thanks, guys. That's depressing, but I'm sure you're right.
>> Taxonomy and breeding change so rapidly that as soon as a list is "finished", it is out of date. They are still finding new plant species in China every week!
It also seems that "they" change their minds about genus and species names. Maybe not often, but I keep stumbling on instances of "obsolete" names.
I may grumble about it a lot, but I do understand. Any effort to force evolving living things into rigid categories is doomed to have raggedy edges where rectangular and triangular pegs of different sizes just plain do not FIT into uniform round holes. Life and evolution seem to delight in exceptions, blurred categories, and cross-overs.
Bacteria are even worse than plants. They seem to DELIGHT in imitating each other while crossing genus lines.
Science (and I) would like everything to be neat, tidy, and fit into one simple descriptive scheme. But life seems to prefer "interesting".
