Thought this might be of interest. I'll post a list of the ever changing names of common and familiar plants that have been placed into newly created or other genera.
Only found out a few minutes ago that the Japanese Anemone group are no longer in the Anemone genus but now called Eriocapitella.

Here is just a starter...
The genus Sedum has been split in half. The low evergreen Stonecrops remain in Sedum whereas the taller perennial types that die back each year are now placed in Hylotelephium.
Aster has been split up with the typical Michaelmas Daisies now in Symphyotrichum.
The Japanese Anemone group which are all late flowering apart from the spring flowering A. rupicola (one of the parents of A. 'Wild Swan') are now all called Eriocapitella.
I'll add others over time.

Interesting, but I wish they'd choose names that are easier to remember

They do all seem to change to tongue-twisters don't they! I'm sure that even the garden centres will still be using the old names for years.

That will be really handy Fractal. My brain is now not working on these changes they way it used to.

A classic is Mina Lobata, depending on where you buy it from 🙂
