Hey James,

Plant List puts Verbena pulchella as a synonym for Glandularia tenera:

Argh -- ok tell me this, I thought Calflora took priority over theplantlist.org? That was the impression I got from ken-ichi anyway.

(Personally Calflora uses tons of outdated names so it doesn't always please me to put priority on them, as in this case).

Well whatever happens, another pair of duplicate taxon merged at the end of the day.

I think that The Plant List is the go-to, but for California plants, CalFlora works. :)

So then which one for this? It is a well established introduced plant in California as well as a native plant outside of Cal.

Hmmm... I actually would merge Glandularia pulchella into G. tenera:

But then again, I'm not passionate either way -- I'm good with any name. :)
