I see what you're saying. On my part if someone asks for something with a generic common name and they don't provide the latin or a picture or link to a picture of what they want, I always ask them to be a bit more specific. That's an ongoing problem with Corkscrew/Snail Vine - both Vigna caracalla and the two common names used interchangeably if you're not all that familiar with it. There is a definitive difference between the two - one is multicolor and the other solid lavender. In cases like that I always provide pictures of both to see which one they are actually looking for.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
