Hello Robert Riefer, In your original post you you attributed "The confusion, aggravation, and cost of modern day nomenclature is the result of being based upon an outdated, early 19th century hypothesis", which is the "archane and absurd idea" the Theory of Evolution. This implies that you believe in Creationism (or maybe something else I am not aware of). One question I have always wondered about, how does Creationism organize the plant kingdom so that it would not be confusing? What is the governing belief or logical thinking behind the organization? I am unaware of any system of nomenclature that is not based on the theory of evolution and trying to understand the relationship between organisms. Even horticultural names of hybrids use genus.
