Warning on succulent plant names

It is necessary to make strong emphasis about plant names which are subject to modifications or comments from specialists...
These modifications may lead to poor results in database even if photograph exists but recorded under an other name. On the other hand we may have two pictures for the same plant under two different names.
It was decided to register in the database names provided by contributors (person providing the picture).
However database taxonomy is using the names to be enforced according to modern botanical family reference books. They are are listed below.
Be carefull about names used for querries: any mistake in name may lead to wrong results.
