Synonymy[edit]

There is a problem here in that stated type species, Hylotelephium telephium which is illustrated, is not an accepted name, but a synonym of Sedum telphium. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 17:06, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael Goodyear: It's true that for instance The Plant List[1] regards Hylotelephium telephium (L.) H.Ohba Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) 90: 53 1977 as a synonym of Sedum telephium L. Sp. Pl. 430 1753, however for example GRIN[2] has it the other way around, listing Sedum telephium var. borderi Mast. Gard. Chron. ser. 2, 10:303. 1878 as a heterotypic synonym of Hylotelephium telephium (L.) H.Ohba Bot. Mag… etc. Do you have any more precise or recent data upon the matter? I'll add a note about this discussion at the Village Pump (more precisely, here) in order to attract more botanists to the issue.

This confusion has now been resolved with the majority of secondary sources and flora acknowledging the acceptance of Hylotelephium telephium over Sedum telephinum. Andyboorman (talk) 07:34, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
