needrain said:Thank you, Josephine. The ATP database has Sesbania as a synonym. Who can verify which is correct? I never know where to go to ask this question!! I'm assuming there is conflicting information among authorities.


Which is "correct" depends entirely on which taxonomist you choose to believe. Smiling For a database as comprehensive as the one at ATP, you really just have to pick a source and stick with it. Otherwise, it quickly turns into a chaotic mess. For wild plants, we've chosen to use the Catalog of Life as our primary source. It's one of the few that is both easily accessible and kept reasonably up to date.
