Confusion abounds. Winecups, for instance. One of my pics somehow ended up listed under Callirhoe pedata, which I didn't know anything about. Someone contacted me wanting to know about C. pedata. At one point C. pedata was listed in my field guide as a synonym of C. digitata. But that book is very old, as far as its first year it was published. Then there's C. leiocarpa, which got mixed into this confusion somehow. Now I don't even know the difference between the 3 species...or IF there is 3 species or just 2 species. The internet seems to be adding to the confusion in species!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
