I agree. Absolutely critical to correctly id plants, especially when buying & selling them. Biggest problem I've found is Nurseries that either don't include the Latin or MISLABEL the plant. That latter bothers me more. I've ordered plants online that I couldn't find locally, paying a premium per-plant price and deluxe shipping charges to find they shipped me something else.
Yes, you're so right! As I noted at the beginning of the article, that's happened to more than a few people hoping to buy the fragrant snail/corkscrew vine Vigna caracalla... they ended up with the other one, and often the nursery had no clue either.
