Re: Re: Cimicifuga -> Actaea rename?

Being wayout of line here....

I think you should list all syn and new names by each plant. Those of us who just got used to calling it ---- need time to learn it now as ----- :(

I truely do not understand why they are changing the names. Soon it will be like a common name, one place calls it this, another that.... Plants need one name and keep it forever. Is this due to a marketing scheme or what?!?
