Sometimes it seems that the International Botanical Congress just changes the botanical names just to give people a hard time. I mean, I know there are valid reason sometimes, but I keep thinking...suppose they just decide one day to change a botanical name for no particular reason. I have plant books with many of the botanical names in them that aren't valid anymore. And many times I don't even know they've been changed. Some of those botanical names have changed more than once since the books were published.
