Looking round the East Lancs Show yesterday I noticed Ipheions have gone and changed into Tristagma. I am writing this down in a safe place (i.e. the forum) so next time I show Ipheions a little light will go on in my head to check what they are called now. ::)

Another taxonomic step too far for my fading grey cells, I fear. I try to pay at least lip-service to all these changes but in truth I cannot change my ingrained memory. :-X :'(

I'm with Maggi on this one! One of the recent taxonomic changes that makes little sense to me is the renaming of Cimicifuga racemosa to 'Actaea racemosa'. How they decide to move a plant with dry wind dispersed seeds into a genus of plants with fleshy berries seems to defy logic. >:(
