This is a relatively old topic, but as a new member to this forum, I have some questions regarding Sempervivum. To what botanical/taxonomic reference does this forum refer to for currently accepted species of Sempervivum?
Is there a recognized world authority on the genus, or perhaps major Floras that cover species in places like Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, or Central Asia? I've looked at my usual "go to" world taxonomic reference which is The Plant List (itself a compendium resource of several taxonomic authorizes: Missouri Bot Garden, Royal Bot Garden, Kew, and others), but for Sempervivum the vast majority of name entries are listed as "unresolved/unassessed", which tells me they haven't worked too tackling this genus, so in this case The Plant List is not very helpful.
I'm looking at this forum's Sempervivum Reference Sites on this forum and looked at the Semp species list, now looking at other links. The link for SEMPERVIVOPHILIA is broken, so I googled to find a new link, the following link works to arrive at the International Sempervivum forum, if indeed that's the updated name for that site:
Note: I guess with my NEW membership here, I'm still in the "probation" period where the forum does not allow me to post links, so I'll expand the link, you'll have to put it together:

Forum Admin: how long before new members can post urls?
