"Scientific names are not... immune to change. The essential... principal... is that of priority, and when... it is discovered that a name being used is not in fact the oldest, the rules require that it be set aside in favor of the earlier one. Also differences of opinion occur more often than we might like." — Richard M. Smith, Wildflowers of the Southern Mountains
