Sorry to bring this up again but I'm sure there was a major mistake
made in identification


Or perhaps just accept that common names are not accurate as different
people in different areas of the country apply them to different
things?


The botanical names can be pretty baffling too, unless you can be sure that
everyone is using the same edition of the RHS encyclopaedia!

Maybe we should use the biographer's convention:

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

"Dorotheanthus bellidiformis (as she now is)"
