Sighing! ! Nomenclature!##?&&. So do all the Mesembryanthemum varieties showing in the DB need to be changed to Dorotheanthus? Are are the powers that determine the real names still debating which name is to be used? Some day there is going to be DNA testing for plants so it becomes more stable - I hope!
