I have a question:
In sempervivum we have been placing the correct name as the official name. The problem we have it that many times there are semps out there in the nurseries that have misspelling, shortened to one part of the name, or translated.

If some one types in the incorrect name we still want it to connect to the correctly named plant. Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum 'Bellott's Pourpre')

One is a translated name
One is has the name shortened
Two are misspelled.

How would/should we handle this?

I like what you are saying in:
1.
2.
3.
4. Not sure how we determine more than one cultivar name. For semps there should only be one that is correct.
