Anemone hepatica vs Hepatica nobilis
There is a wikipedia article on Anemone hepatica (linked on top of this article as species with which this one should not be confused), in which discussion people discuss the naming of that plant (Anemone hepatica or Hepatica nobilis). Isn't the species from this article the same as the one in the Anemone hepatica article? The later doesn't exist in other languages, this one links to article corresponding to the Anemone hepatica article in other languages.

If those are really two different species, could somebody please detail this article a little more and correct the links to other languages. If, as I suppose, these two articles are about the same species, this article should be deleted and links to other languages transferred to the Anemone hepatica article.

Is this really different from Anemone hepatica L.?
GBIF lists both Hepatica nobilis Mill. and Anemone hepatica L. as synonyms of Hepatica nobilis Schreb.. Of the four links in the references to this article, one (NRCS) goes to H. nobilis Schreb., and two don't list an author. The WCSP link goes to Hepatica nobilis Mill. var. obtusa (Pursh) Steyerm. , but does list the two species separately. The USDA even has Hepatica nobilis Schreb. var. obtusa (Pursh) Steyerm. as the accepted name for Anemone hepatica L. (!). The GRIN database lists these.

Under all circumstances, it seems either both of these should be listed in Hepatica, or both in Anemone - since there seems to be no disagreement about both being part of Hepatica Mill. NisJørgensen (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Replying to myself: No, "H. nobilis Mill." is the same as "H. nobilis Schreb.", but this article is really about "var. obtusa" and "var. acuta", which are  considered synonyms for  H. americana/A. americana and H. acutiloba/A. acutiloba respectively. The issue is muddled by the Anemone/Hepatica discussion, as well as the Miller/Schreber confusion (who published legitimately) - both of which have little to do with the actual division into species. I'll update the articles to reflect all this (and move to Anemone, since this seems to be where the party is. NisJørgensen (talk) 17:31, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
