We strive to keep our plant names as current as possible and within our concept of species and genera in the world of succulent plants. We do not always agree with all taxonomic name changes, and the following are ones that we have adapted for our nursery. We have attempted to verify these identifications using on-line resources or by contacting experts in the field. Our most recent changes follow a visit by Susan Carter Holmes, who helped us identify some unnamed plants as well as alter some existing names on plants.
