All the new DNA analysis and major consolidations and expansions at the genus level are happen at a rate that makes it hard to keep up with. I think the pic you mentioned may have been moved because the foliage looks wrong. That's my quess. It appears that digitata is a synonym of C. pedata and C. leiocarpa is it's own species. That's all according to COL which seems to be the most current taxonomic index at this point. The admins and others seem to do a great job in hunting down whats most current if it's not already up to date in the database here. That confusing thread was a good example of their process. A very comprehensive look through several of the major taxonomic databases to see what was most current and who named what first in the past. Interesting but hard to follow the trail of info and come out with an answer on the other end.
Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California.
