Good point, Joanie!

Sometimes this is inhibited by the ever-changing botanical names. Fukien Tea (was Carmona, now Ehretia) comes to mind, and Texas Ebony, which has changed from a pithecellobium to an Ebanopsis.

Still, botanic names are preferable.

Makes me laugh though. Wednesday night at Chase's, we had three Malpighias (all were Barbados Cherry) that could hardly have been more different!
