Topic: Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea ?)

Chris,

I notice that Wiki and iNaturalist show Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) as Jacobaea vulgaris - see here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobaea_vulgaris

Has this name formally changed to the one shown in iNaturalist or are they incorrect ??

Cheers Charlie - appreciated.

Looks like the UKSI needs updating.

I've restrained myself from prodding Chris about Stace 4 :-)

OK, I'll sort that one out ... but yeah Stace4 might be a little way off ;)   I'm hoping to have time to work through Tom's huge list of Stace3 updates sometime soon.
