Maybe we should use the biographer's convention:

"Anemonella thalictroides (as she then was)..."

"Dorotheanthus bellidiformis (as she now is)"


Or refer to them as the cumbersome:

Dorotheanthus bellidiformis (nee Anemonella thalictroides)

:-)

.. except that the usual term is 'syn'


which is fine, as long as you know both/all the names.

I'd should point out for the benefit of anyone browsing future archives
that:

Dorotheanthus bellidiformis is *not* the same as Anemonella
thalictroides.

They were just a couple of names of rebadged plants that came to mind -
should have made that clearer!
