Malcolm Storey commented on an older version of Image of Nectria cinnabarina:
@Katja Schulz: Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh also place Hypocreaceae in Plantae! That surely went out of fashion a long time before the 1990's.
I guess herbaria might use informal classifications for convenient access to and storage of specimens (relating to room, cupboard, shelf and box names), rather than attempting to strictly model philogeny. Of course changes to the classification are a lot more time consuming if you have to physically reorganise specimens.
EOL perhaps ought to have some way of downplaying informal classifications.

@Katja Schulz: This a taxonomic "view" that has been discontinued. Before the 1990s, the Hypocreales consisted of just one family Hypocreaceae. Then the order was split into several families and Nectria was placed in Nectriaceae.

@Priscila Chaverri: Some EOL content partners place Nectria in Hypocreaceae. Is this outright wrong or an alternative taxonomic view?
