Since Peter has been doing a fantastic job of making sure the names in the database are correct (Thanks Peter!!
), I thought it would be helpful if we kept an ongoing list of the names that have been changed in the database so if we have those plants in our personal collections we can also make sure we have the correct names assigned to our plants. I'm sure everyone would certainly want their plants named correctly.
So whenever a name is changed in the database, a link to it will be added to the first post of this thread.
Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum x fauconnettii (x angustifolium))
These are the semps from Andre Smits that we had in the database under the name of Silver and have been changed to Zilver in the below semps. However both names will bring up the plant in the database. But it would be good to change the name to Zilver in your collections so we don't propagate the incorrect name.

Zilver Moon (we have no photos in our database.

Casa - Many of the plants being sold in the U.S. as 'Casa" are the incorrect plant. Please view this photo (courtesy of Beatrix Bodmeier, Bavaria/Germany) to see the correct 'Casa', and view the comments in the database entry.
Due to the scientific name changes there is a change to the semps with the name of S. erythraeum. There are three different entries for this plant.

Please look at the entries, and post in this thread what your source for these different semps is. We will not make any changes to these three entries until we have heard from all the members that have contributed photos to these three entries.
The current Sempervivum erythraeum (Velenovski) is the correct form, and will be changed to S. Sempervivum marmoreum subsp. erythraeum. But we can't do that until we solve the mystery of the other two semps. It may be that the other two will have to become NOIDs.
The two entries for S. rupicolum and S. x rupicolum have been merged. They are the same sempervivum sold under different names. You will still be able to find your plant with a search of Sempervivum rupicolum (synonym).
