“…There was some hope that this situation would turn round after the publication of Amtmann (2009) where some of the above discrepancies were briefly highlighted and, indeed, some improvement can be observed in a gradual switching from the name T. halophila to T. salsuginea (e. g., Lugan et al, 2010; Oh et al, 2010; Orsini et al, 2010; Wu et al, 2012) or E. salsugineum (Yang et al, 2013). However, misnomers persist: T. salsuginea named as T. halophila (e.g., Guo et al, 2012; Lamdan et al, 2012). Moreover, even in those papers where the species name T. salsuginea (or E. salsugineum ) is correctly applied for what is indeed this species, T. halophila is often treated now as its synonym (e.g., Oh et al, 2010; Orsini et al, 2010; Pang et al, 2012; Yang et al, 2013), which, as shown above, is completely wrong, and use of the characteristics like “ Thellungiella halophila/salsuginea ” (Ghars et al, 2012) or “ Thellungiella halophila (Salt cress also known as Eutrema salsugineum )” ( Thellungiella halophila Genome Project, 2011) is equally inappropriate.…”
