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.


I'm glad I grow vegetables!


You can't escape :-) Tomatoes (Lycopersicon) and tamarillos
(Cyphamandra) have been reclassified back in Solanum, and I understand
the generic limits in Brassicaceae are unclear.
