Hi group,
I agree that it is confusing for something like "Dotted Line" to
be considered as either a Siberian or a species. I think the reasoning was
that the categories aren't comprehensive enough to include every possible
class, and therefore it should be up to the hybridizer to choose. It's an
imperfect solution but it's hard to imagine creating categories for every
possibility. Years could go by before there was an entry in many categories.
I agree that the Sino-Siberians deserve a category of their own,
though. I don't think it makes any sense to consider "Dotted Line" and
"Over in Gloryland" in the same group. And I wish there was a better
common name for them. "Gracile" won't do because I. Delavayi, for one, is
more robust than many of the regular Siberians.
