Plant Names on PBS

When a name that has been used for a long time has been recently
changed, it is best to include the former name in this form: Moraea
sisyrinchium (syn. Gynandriris s.). The brutal lumping to which the
Iridaceae have recently been subjected has caused a lot of puzzlement.
Indeed, I think that Gynandriris was an Iris for a few years. So what
has happened to the former Hermodactylus? Is it still an Iris?

Portland, Oregon, USA, where Gynandriris (now Moraea) is flowering in
the bulb house today.

Meanwhile, is there a standardized nonclemature we use? I generally use
names from The Plant List http://www.theplantlist.org/ to sort through the
maze of synonyms and replaced names. For example in mentioning Moraea
sisyrinchum - evidently the current name 0 it is commonly called
Gynandriris and most people I know would not relate to it as a Moraea,
especially in the nursery industry. Any suggestions on what to use on the
list is gratefully accepted.
