http://www.catalogueoflife.org...

I saw an entry for Symphyandra zanzegur and suspected that it was a misspelled duplicate of S. zangezura, but when I looked it up to make sure, I saw that Symphyandra doesn't seem to exist as a genus any longer and all of the names have become synonyms of Campanulas and a couple of other genera. Is there a moderator for campanula or symphyandra that wants to tackle this or should I make these changes?

My suspicions were correct, by the way: S. zanzegur does not seem to exist, although Annie's Annuals and other reputable sources are using that name. So, should it be included as an incorrect or illegitimate name of S. zangezura (or of Campanula zangezura, in keeping with the pending changes)?


If we used what I proposed, the Latin name would be Campanula zangezura; synonym is Symphyandra zangezura; Also Sold As: Symphyandra zanzegur, and maybe eventually Campanula zanzegur.
