Taxonomy

Recent taxonomic work has changed the entity to which the name Lespedeza violacea applies. Based upon a reexamination of the type specimens, it was determined that Lespedeza violacea is the correct name of what was traditionally known as Lespedeza intermedia. The entity traditionally known as Lespedeza violacea now has the name Lespedeza frutescens. This nomenclature rearrangement has resulted in widespread confusion among botanists, with older references and some modern botanists retaining the traditional usage.[3] Literature referencing L. violacea must be carefully checked to determine what concept of the species the author is using.

gollark: Since RISC-V is royalty free and such but apparently has a really not open process for proposing extensions.
gollark: Yes. I think LibreSOC or something say it's more open than RISC-V.
gollark: (It has A76 cores, which are at least competitive with my outdated x86 server)
gollark: This is of course why I excitedly await RK3588-based ones, due to RK3588 good.
