From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canna species synonyms are the inevitable consequence of the difficulty of communication up to the late part of the 19th century. From the late 18th century plant searchers were being despatched to all corners of the world and bringing back to their employers all the plant treasures of the world.
The problem then became one of identifying the specimens. The capitals and places of learning in the major countries of the world all had botanical gardens and private nurseries and collectors, all intent on discovering and naming new species.
Initially the early taxonomists only had the written word with which to communicate and letters might take weeks to complete their journeys. Black and white photography eased the communication difficulty and the invention of the telephone and colour photography, and more recerntly the world wide web have meant that places of learning can now communicate freely and most of the duplication of names has been resolved.
