Reaction to http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5539.msg155970#msg155970People often ask following questions
Which of the names is correct
Which of the names is accepted
But it is really pseudo-questions.
The
correct name is the name which ought to be used according to the rules in the taxonomic context accepted by the writer. A plant has different correct names in different taxonomic contexts.
The
accepted name is the name accepted by an author. The accepted name may be incorrect. Furthermore, different authors accept different names. It has little sense to search
The
Accepted
Name. No one exists.
The use of different names for one plant causes no problems. In contrast, the use of one name for different plants is confusing.
