Interesting ... all we have is a validly described species (as the publication of the species satisfies all the requirements of the Code for Botanical Nomenclature) , a taxonomical authority validating said species but ,WOUZA !!!, said species is called a forgery by many.....
Talk about intrigue.... Aren't taxonomy and nomenclature fun? BTW Iris, the AOS has a procedure to correct the names of awarded species where there is evidence that the species has been misidentified and/or when the name of the species has been changed. The problem is that it takes an accredited judge to start the procedure rolling.
