I just learned that Mimulus is no more. I hadn't even adjusted to the genus being moved to Phrymaceae. I don't even object to the process, or the principle, it's just harder to keep up the older I get. Certainly the common names are more stable. Anyway, if you grow a monkeyflower, it's (probably) now an Erythranthe. I certainly wouldn't expect nurseries to change their names soon. Best, Max (See http://flickr.com/photos/mark_egger_castilleja/… for details on the Mimulus revision).

I'm not doubting that this change will happen, but it was suggested well over a decade ago. To expect nurseries to change names now is somewhat ridiculous (no offense). Technically to list something as A harmandii is invalid until an official publication is made. > > I can give several examples of why jumping the gun on name changes is a bad idea.
