Confusion

edit

There has been a history of confusion/redirects between Pediocactus sileri and Sclerocactus sileri. They are the same species according to Anderson (2001: 629) and other sources I've looked at. Which is the latest name is not clear at present; the taxonomy of the cacti is in a state of flux. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:12, 2 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I now think that Sclerocactus sileri and Pediocactus sileri are not synonyms; see the Taxonomy section for my reasons. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:10, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
