Nomenclature has become a spiny problem, I agree, Stitz. I believe most of us simply does not know what to use anymore with so many genera and/or species! Of course,
synonyms are not invalid names, they are just this synonyms. For our horticultural proposals, synonyns, while valid, can be freely used and the plant must be recognized as identified no matter where it is, especially if followed by the species author's name!
