YES, or as I am putting it in the site as Psoralea bituminosa...

yes Psoralea is more popular but Bituminaria is actual (unfortunately)

So to be more correct (and according to recent nomenclature) it should be named as Bituminaria bituminosa ?

Well I think both are ok afterall, P.bituminosa was listed as 'accepted name' in the Flora Europa

we always have to remember that names are only names, and they all are man made (even experts might be wrong, or have different opinions). If I accept a new name, I should add the popular synonym.

Both will be mentioned in my website, but I stuck with P. bituminosa as the preferred species name for the time being.

Thanks Jack
