Lin, thanks, but apologies not needed. I'd even feel that one is not relevant to the issue at hand.
I am assuming that Zuzu means that the Genus Stapelia no longer exists according to the the Catalogue of Life. I don't take that to be synonymous with a statement that the Genus Stapelia no longer exists.
I'm not disputing the NGA's choice of using the Catalogue of Life as the basis for its Plant Database; that's the NGA Owner's/Administration's choice. I suppose that I could even understand a requirement for all members of the NGA to use NGA Plant Database nomenclature.
But insisting that the Genus Stapelia no longer exist sounds like dogma to me.
