The danger of common epithets!-)

Eg bluebells are not always bluebells;-)


Not that the botanical names are reliably stable: half the Lavatera's
are now Malvas (and some Malvas may be Lavateras, and one Lavatera may
be neither); some Althaeas may be Malvas; and there's a big
restructuring of Hibiscus in the offing.
