I think I can guess how the Profusion zinnias in our database acquired that botanical name. They probably were mistakenly entered initially as Zinnia hybrida because they're hybrids. Zinnia hybrida is a synonym for Zinnia peruviana, however, so the botanical name would have been edited at some point. I'll delete the species portion of the botanical name for the Profusion zinnias. I won't add marylandica to their names because it is not an accepted botanical name at this time. Academic authorities may accept it, but taxonomic authorities do not.
