Well, I didn't say "Registered" so it does count! =
I. sambucina is now considered a synonym for I. imbricata (a diploid
species native to the Transcaucasus mountains). =

I. flavescens was once accorded species status. It's native to
Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany. Mathew describes it as possibly a
form of I. variegata. =
One brief caveat: =
A species has many different clones, so the clones thant Linda and Rima
grow may not be the same ones that others on the list grow.
