PUSHING THE BORDERS

whats this supposed to be called these days? Dunalia australis or Acnistus australis, or Eriolarynx australe my 2018 plant finder still has it as Iochroma ?! so which is the old names and which the new?

Can of worms time!

I think Iochroma australe is the last fully published name; Acnistus and Dunalia can be forgotten I think.

The problem is that Smith & Baum [2006] have established that Iochroma australe is an Eriolarynx but did not 'establish' the new name Eriolarynx australe pending a more fundamental review of the genus.

Many 'authorities' are now using the 'new' name even though it hasn't, as far as I know, been formally written up.

The RHS dumbed down on line plant finder recognises Eriolarynx australe at the moment.

Any clearer?

ps has anyone got Iochroma grandiflora?

Thanks, I have past this on to Sacha Hubbard who was asking me (not sure why she thought I would know - but I was flattered she thought I would!)
